Remove the racist Teddy Bear emoji

The Issue

The teddy bear � emoji is a symbol of racist oppression and colonialism. It is named after Teddy Roosevelt, notorious criminal and racist colonialist. It’s time our keyboards and emoji were free from microaggressions against BIPOC and oppressed people. We call on the Unicode Consortioum and Mark Davis, Joe Becker, Lee Collins to remove this symbol from the Unicode standard.
