Used in the wrong context. There's probably some others.
Funny, that. I just saw that emoji as a guy having a problem balancing, to be used to depict someone with a dodgy argument, skating on thin ice, etc.

Didn't notice he was black until I wondered what you meant by it.

Frankly, that's no more racially offensive that a white guy doing exactly the same thing. Could be sexist, though, because he's quite obviously male!
