Awkward.

Apple has released a new range of emojis, and of course, there has been a bit of controversy.

The latest update of emojis includes the foot emoji.

Just like the other body part emojis,

Why? Because of how unrealistic it is.

One Twitter user wrote: “Y’all overthink diversity and inclusion like s***. Who got a black a** bottom on their foot?”

A valid point, in fairness.

Another responded to the news, saying: “Doing too much – if the bottom of your foot is black you should be visiting your doctor.”

Then another angry Apple user said:

“Y’all just going to admit you don’t know what black people’s feet look like?”

What do you reckon, is the new feet emoji inappropriate?
