Same with Pixel, which actually did it years before I'd presume.

I'm white as ghost. Pixels are determined to make me looked tan for absolutely no reason. I mean, maybe I look 'better', arguably, but it's not me. Is that what people want?

I bought the kid some newfangled Polaroid type thing, and she uses that way more than phones anymore for photos. Maybe the kids will be ok.


Google made an publicized effort to better represent darker skin tones, which may explain the tan. It probably thinks you're overexposed and desaturated instead of pale.

"What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough to take the world and all it's got

Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

And turn out hot-dog-coloured people by the score"

That's basically what the USA are. Although Brazil is probably a better example.
