well, it's good you didn't claim to be right since you're about as wrong as you can get in every sense of the word. maybe you should try shutting up once in awhile. "it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Thanks. I know when I open my mouth I remove all doubt that I am a fool.
Glad to see u took my advice and started channeling your positive energy.

you're so dumb. double doesn't mean white. double means double. you can have asian looking eyes that have a fold. about half the world's asian population has a fold. they still look asian. So, what races are their eyes? Or other features, for that matter?

So, what races are their eyes? Or other features, for that matter? I think you misread. --- Like I said before, EPICANTHIC. It doesn't matter whether it's a double or single fold. Most Asians have epicanthic eyes that taper off where the skin joins the nose. From Merriam Webster: Pronunciation: "e-p&-'kan(t)-thik- Function: noun Etymology: New Latin epicanthus epicanthic fold, from epi- + canthus canthus : a prolongation of a fold of the skin of the upper eyelid over the inner angle or both angles of the eye Anyone who does bio/anthropology ??

I'M CONFUSED
i think i'm the dummy because i still don't know if my eyes are single or double. i think it depends on the time of day. or maybe it depends on if i smile or not. (probably because my chubby cheeks push up on my eyes.)
i know for sure i have the eye bag thing under my eyes though.

I'd say double, but there's a little fold in corners closest to my nose. Plus, my closest Chinese relatives have double lids.

I knew a half korean girl who had enormous eyes with epicanthic folds. Truly to say, it looked weird. I have epicanthic fold too. None of my parents have it, only my grandmother who was mixed too had it, but even she had double eyelids. I guess I inherited my eyes right from some pure Asian greatgreatgrandparent.

No, I'm aware of that. But technically, "most" does not make a feature synonymous with a race - if there are still Asians without it and non-Asians with it. Which there are. Or, does an Asian without epicanthic folds not have Asian eyes anymore? And should we start categorizing all traits by race like "n*gger lips," "Jew noses," "White elbows" and "Latino feet?"

khani: There are defintions and pictures in the link I posted on page 1. It should be clear if you take a look.
siggie: You have double upper eyelids with a parallel crease in both.

I think you misread. My last paragraph wasn't directed at you. I never said certain traits were only evident in some races. But now that you've mention it, it's not only epicanthic folds that makes someone's eyes appear Mongoloid, indentation of the eye sockets and how big the brow bone is makes all the difference.

^ Agreed, but look at those pics I posted. Take all that into account and tell me what race eyes each person has.
