From an anthropological point of view its because of something called an epicanthic fold I believe, (however margaret mead Im not)

LMAO! Now that's funny. I don't know about if they get disoriented or not, but it won't make their food any better tasting or smelling. It also won't take away that squinty look on their faces, lol.\n\nAlso, political correctness is what has castrated our country. Making a big deal out of whether it's Oriental or Asian is a good example of an idiot who is making a decision about what to call someone or something by what society tells him the most sensitive and politically correct way of saying it is. HOW PATHETIC!\n\nPoor, poor babies, let's try not to offend anyone at all costs. (sarcasm)

they don't like what they see?

Because China is an oppressive communist country. They sensore everything their people see, they don't want any individuality or new ideas. China is a country that forces the people to believe what they want them to believe.

"Why are Chinese people's eyes like they are ?"\nOK ! So why are your eyes like the the way they are ?\n\nIncidentally, note the missing apostrophe .

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you think Asians are more handsome than Europeans you must be blind!

I am hispanic from New Mexico so we don't look at all like any of the hispanics in Texas. And my grandmother and sister have almond shaped eyes and flat cheekbones.\n\nI believe it is because we have more American Indian blood in us; in fact, there are many Navajos who are indigenous to the area where my family is from.  Navajos have very strong oriental-like features. Combine that with the fairness of our true Spanish ancestors (we can trace our lineage all the way back to the Spanish conquistadors), and our family has very fair skin.\n\nSo we have very white skin, black straight hair and almond shaped eyes and wide, flat cheek bones. Hence, we look oriental!\n\nBelow is a very interesting site about this.

Because they have epicanthic folds,which make the eyelid shape,as an ethnic characteristic.

Face\n\nAs in most Asian countries, face is a very important and complex feature of daily life. We may call it "pride" in the West, but we don't have as developed a sense of the absolute necessity of "saving face" as in the East. In China, you will encounter this idea of "saving face" as well as having to "give face," on multiple levels. Maybe in the classroom the student in the back row who knows the answer to your question won't answer because she doesn't want her classmates to feel stupid. Maybe when you asked that old man how to get to the museum he just pointed to the left because he was too embarrassed to admit that he had no idea where it really was. Maybe the official at the Public Security Bureau won't extend your visa because you lost your temper in front of him and his colleagues, and if he granted your request now it would look as if he'd given in to your threats. Be aware of face and its importance to the Chinese. In general, as a foreigner to whom face means comparatively little, you can afford to lose face more than the Chinese, so you can use this to your advantage. Try to give face as often as possible—it will be appreciated

lol yes i have met a few people that have a 'lazy eye', this often pops into my mind, i tend to just look straight at them, whatever you do, do not look over your shoulder to where the lazy eye is looking as they may be quite offended

because they aren't really looking at your eyes they are looking at the whole face

Individuals are individuals. Some Chinese folks are prejudiced against black people and vice versa.

The people who come from Mongolian Heritage have evolved to cope with their environment. The "squinty" eyes you are referring to serve them well when the Yellow River dust storms blow and the glare of the sun would make big blue eyes blind.\nAs for the hair, yes, it is always dark but not always fine. That was for a survival purpose too. Some Chinese people have very thick hair. Black is the dominant colour because it is stronger than other colours, so even in  international marriages, the children will have dark hair. Some toddlers will be seen with naturally fair hair though, but it darkens as they get older.\nThings evolve gradually, but sometimes also quite quickly ... a lot of Chinese have big and wide-open eyes these days. It used to be put down to cosmetic surgery, but some are born with such eyes naturally; obviously a sign of evolution.\nBy the way, it might surprise you to hear that not so long ago people with blue eyes were thought to be blind. A serious misconception but due to ignorance. \nIn every ethnic group there are diversities. Eyes are often the centre of focus because they are the centre of attraction. But if the eye reveals the soul of that person, it doesn't matter what shape or size it is.

Usually people with lazy eye (strabismus) ignore (suppress) the eye that isn't pointed where they're looking.  The brain doesn't like to get conflicting information from the two eyes, so if it does, it only pays attention to one.

They're muscular because of genetics with a bit of help from evolution. Remember, slavery was alive and well way back when. Of course, all that slaving would result in stronger people (assuming they were well fed) and after a generation or two, it's just a natural genetics thing that they are more muscular than other races. And yes, asians can have tone in their muscles. I'm chinese, I go to the gym to work out, and I do have toned muscles.

Hmmm, I am not surprised they get the hump with you.\n\nHomer Simpson is yellow, I am not sure I know any Chinese folks of that colour - "pale sepia" possibly but not yellow. ;)

Most Asian are born like that and not only that, their family is the one who put them on that path. I'm an girl n i'm Asian, I bend my parents rules, I dont care much about electronic, as long as i kno how to read electronic instructions, that's all it matter. They just born out natural smart n more into computer shit. I also have Asian friends who are major in engineer, n they look soo crappy bc of all the staring on the computer all days. Well, all i have to say is, yea, Asian are weird.
