Use concepts discussed in the book so far to explain why the Unicode Consortium put so much effort into making sure that emojis represent a wide range of skin tones and hair color/styles?

People look to see representation of people who look like themselves in popular culture. When all emojis are limited to a single skin tone and hairstyle, they limit the ability of people to communicate about themselves through these little images. Given that smartphone usage is pervasive among young people, full representation becomes important.
