iPhone users can now update to iOS 8.3, which includes racially diverse emoji. Finally.
For those unfamiliar with updating their iPhone software, all you need to do is hit Settings, then General, then Software Update. It will likely take a little while for your iOS to update, but there are fresh new emoji waiting for you when it's finished.
