[hikari546]

...Yah I get like made fun of all the time cuz of my squinty eyes or watever just me or is it most Asians?  

[Shining Silhouette]

Reminds me of a joke...
"How do you blindfold and Asian? With dental floss."
razz

Well, I haven't gotten any comments on eye shape.　But maybe you are around non-Asians more...  

[goodbye-star]

I'm surrounded by Asians all the time so maybe that's why i don't hear people making fun of it as much.

Actually, I'm one of 3 of my asian friends who don't have "squinty" or "slanty" eyes.

The majority of asians have it ((not saying like it's a bad thing)), but some don't. And they aren't necessarily squinty, but just smaller than other eyes. It's not a big deal biggrin

 

[Laughing Platypus]

Surprisingly, my Asian buds and I don't have squinty eyes. O.O;;

[Xx-Tinaa-xX]

I dont have squinty eyes. And I've never gotten any comments like that before. But my little sister has squinty eyes and me and my older sister don't. Someitme we tease her about her eyes...

I don't really have squinty eyes...but it kinds depends I dunno... I have been made fun of though... EXAPLE: HEY CH1NK OPEN YOUR EYES.

now that is just plain mean... I wake up in the morning and I see my eyes in the miror... eek

You know if your reading this and you have ever made fun of anybody about how small their eyes are...

YOU BETTER OPEN YOUR EYES exclaim exclaim exclaim exclaim  

[Psyense]

my eyes are pretty squinty but for some reason, if something is said, i don't really get bothered by it. It's a big asian "trademark" anyways. A lot of asians will have an operation to create the fold in the eye lid (ie. my mother) but.. why?

I wish I could be love,
Then I could be
All over the world.

Squinty eyes are more common amongst the 'mainland' Asians. This includes China, Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos (I think I forgot a few.)

If you look at all the islanding Asian countries, most of their eyes don't have as much of the squinty eyes that the mainland Asians do. Compare a Chinese person's eyes to that of a Japanese. You'll see the Japanese will usually have less of a squint.

I'll remember to love,
You taught me how.

The few Asians we have are usually quite popular at my school. And my school is so racially mixed that most people don't care anyways.
