I think these kinds of eyelids makes it easier for people to tell that they're part Asian and not various other ethnicities like Hispanic, Middle Eastern etc.  btw, I have always thought Daniel Henney looks 100% Korean (and super hot!). |

^Hey, Toyomansi, long time no see. Let me know where you are now.
On topic - I think these people look look more stereotypically "mixed" esp. to Asians.

I think these kinds of eyelids makes it easier for people to tell that they're part Asian and not various other ethnicities like Hispanic, Middle Eastern etc. Generally, that's the case, but then again, many "Hispanics"/Latinos or other ethnicities are a mixture of prototypically Asian and, not surprisingly, there is no shortage of them with these kinds of eyelids. My fiance, for instance, has these kind of eyelids. He's 1/4 Native American, and the rest is European ethnicities(German, Polish, and English). Though his Native American background isn't Asian in the sense that we think of it, it's still prototypically Asiatic. He gets asked all the time if he's EA. And whatever children we have will likely have these same eyes too, as it is a very dominant trait in his family. His Native-American grandfather had them, his father has them, both he and his brother do, and both of his nieces have them even though they're white and fair-skinned/light-colored in every other way. My eyes are bigger and rounder than theirs, and I'm the more Asian one  |

My eyes are bigger and rounder than theirs, and I'm the more Asian one Agree. And I think face shape and nasal structure are more indicative of who's Asian than eyelids. I've seen plenty of black people and white people as well who have monolids but you still wouldn't think they're Asian. Many southeast Asians have double-lids and even bigger eyes than your average northern European, but you can still tell they're Asian (or at least not European) because of their noses, lips, and face shape. For me, the nose has always been the number one indicator of a person's racial background. Perhaps it's because it's at the center of the face and hence kinda anchors the rest of the face into shape. Though, I've mistaken a lot of southeast Asians for being black, because of their wider, flatter noses in conjunction with generally darker complexions and larger lips (in comparison with NE Asians) That guy in the last photo on the OP's first post would probably look like a 100% white dude with slanted eyes if his nostrils weren't as wide. His face shape and bone structure is definitely Caucasian. |

I find that the part most Eurasians get that is Asian is indeed in the eyes which is really cool. I seem to be the rare exception.
