I’m honestly a little suspicious of anyone who uses the white 👍. I feel like the only people who care enough to explicitly use it instead of the yellow are either virtue signalling liberals or white supremacists. I’m probably reading far, far too much into people’s emoji choices though.
I’m genuinely baffled by these kinds of responses lol. Did I miss a big event where liberals were using white emojis or something? The first thing I think about when I see 👏🏻 is “this person is either white or have white skin” and move on with my life
It depends on the context a lot. Someone using a white thumbs up might just be white, but they are announcing that they are white. This could mean absolutely nothing, but in certain online spaces, it can be a white supremacist dogwhistle. It’s really dumb that we have to look out for it at all, but they love appropriating any symbol they can.
In my case, the only person I know IRL and regularly uses white emojis is the deeply brainwormed type that believes white men are marginalized by society. He also uses the really pale one even if his actual skin tone is at least one shade darker, which is another can of brainworms.

That is absolutely the vibe I get from white skin emojis. It is almost always a performative liberal or a barely cloaked fascist
I mean it’s never anywhere in the middle of that spectrum

I use black👍 because I can be whoever I want online
