Are you joking or is this serious? I wouldn't want to date someone who could be deterred from interacting with another person solely due to the color of a text bubble. The fact that their mind allows for that possibility is a huge signal that they most likely don't have anything interesting for me to discover about them or discuss with them. Colors are shallow. Actions are not.

If anything I'm being more fair than they would be.

I understand where you’re coming from, but isn’t it possible it’s not really a conscious decision being made? I mean do you think that people are actively choosing colors over people? I just think it may be more likely users of Apple devices are generally manipulated to associate interacting with Apple devices as a more enjoyable experience than with non-Apple devices. You say you are being more fair than “they” would be, but purposeful lack of understanding doesn’t seem very fair to me, it seems like you’re maybe trying to retaliate against an invented perception. I don’t think it’d hurt anyone to consider opposing actions in a realistic light.
