The kid is just confused. He’s 10. Give him a break on this. He’s thinking the emoji that best represents him, the only one with glasses, shouldn’t be an image he thinks is negative. However, the yellow face emoji set isn’t supposed to represent identities as opposed to emotion. The Unicode Nerd Face is supposed to be nerdy. Making a yellow face emoji with glasses wouldn’t express any emotion.
There are person emojis but those tend to be roles, expressions, activities or really generic. I suppose these could be opened to more identities to include glasses, punk, goth, pierced, scared, dimples, etc… but Apple already addressed this with Memojis.
