What makes Asian eyes look different?
The Asian periocular anatomy is very different from that of a Caucasian or African American on many levels. Firstly, the shape of the orbital bones makes a tremendous impact on the 3D shape and angle of the eyelids. In an Asian, the lateral orbital rim, or the rim of bone that can be felt at the outer corner of the eye, sits on average 3mm more anterior than in Caucasians, and 5mm more anterior than in African Americans (Migliori and Gladstone 1984, Tsai et al 2006). This difference in the skull shape significantly affects the angular corners of Asian eyelids, as explains the more rounded outer corners in Caucasians and African Americans.
Secondly, the fibrous strip of tissue that defines the upper and lower lid margins, called the tarsus, is significantly narrower in the Asian patient (6-8mm) compared to Caucasians and African Americans (10-12mm). The upper edge of tarsus is where fine filamentous attachments link the eyelid skin to the eyelid, and corresponds to the height of the lid crease. It is these attachments that can be weak in Asians who do not have a visible lid crease, often called a "single eyelid" configuration.
Another difference is the additional layer of fatty tissue in the Asian eyelid that is not found in either Caucasians or African Americans. This extra layer of fat helps to separate the eyelid skin from the muscle and tarsus, which is typically firmly attached in Non-Asians. By increasing the thickness of Asian eyelids, this layer may also prevent a lid crease from forming at the upper border of tarsus.

No. The cracking is usually explained as gas bubbles being created due to a vacuum affect from the expansion of the fluid inside the joint capsule. That would not cause the bones in your fingers to grow more slanted.
yes he thought that he was in Asia. But really he was in Canada. he wanted to find his way to the Asian riches. so if he thought he was in Asia he thought that the native Americans were Asians.
Typically. Asians are portrayed as being extremely smart and nerdy in the media. This is not a well-rounded representation of Asian people, since Asian people are comprised of a very large and diverse population.

Russians do have slanted eyes very often .
asians are born with slanted eyes, caucasians are not
At first she was afraid of them. She had nightmares about their slanted eyes.
Cause she took a picture with her friends with her eyes kind of slanted and they said that she was making fun of them.
Down's Syndrome people have slanted eyes with a fold of skin similar to Asians.
That's an offensive and inaccurate term. The reason some Asians (not all) and some non-Asians have eyes that appear to be less round is because of a part of the eyelid called the epicanthic fold. It is an adaptation to a cold climate, protecting the eyes from cold temperatures, wind and areas of high light reflection such as deserts. Probably came about in the upper Paleolithic.
Many Mexicans and other Hispanics have some Native American ancestry. One distinguishing feature of Amerindians is the epicanthic fold which is also found among East Asians, this is a folding of the eye-lid which creates the "slanted eye" effect.
In order to have naturally slanted eyes you must be born from an ethnic background from which slanted eyes is the norm. These people's eyes probably evolved so they look slanted in order to protect against the glare of ice or snow and also to insulate them. The reason they look slanted is because they have epicanthic folds that are made up of fatty tissue.
because they held there eyes slanted and mutated there faces
