Americans lie,cheat,steal anything goes, They don't trust asians in general as they don,t trust others races such as the indiguos "American Indian" they were treated by European decendant americans worse than black slaves! Yeah I know about cooly labor and slaving out the irish in the mid 1800s! Do you think you can find any other race then asian working for Asian employer say in Chinatown in San Francisco? Yet there are state and federal laws against discrimination, and yes it works against them cause americans won,t hire them! What about the one where China discovered America first, i have known one american indian family that had slanted eye features! The truth!A family that went by the last name of Blazedel spelling could be wrong!

I haven't seen that personally.  Actually, according to scientific studies, people with lighter eyes (especially bright blue) tend to have more eye problems than any other eyecolor.  There could be some vitamin or mineral deficiency that Asians have that I am unaware of though.

The Asian diet does not include a lot of dairy products (it is estimated that some 90% of Asians have some degree of lactose intolerance) and protein.  It traditionally includes mainly vegetables and starches.  So, although Asians are height-challenged, they enjoy a longer lifespan than an average Caucasian.  (The Japanese have one of the world's longest life expectancies (number 4 in the world) as opposed to Americans (who are #29).

Any eye colour other than brown is caused by an absence of pigments in the iris. People inhabiting extreme latitudes usually have lower general pigmentation in order to get sufficient Vitamin D uptake through ultraviolet light. This is accompanied by a tendency to have lighter hair colour and less pigments in the iris.\n\nYou might call it a genetic defect which has proven useful.

You see, Americans are so stupid that thy cant discern between Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Phillipinos, etc.  In the constant quest to be politiacally correct people decided to call them all ASIAN.  Indian people are from Asia,  Americans don't refer to them as Asian.  To be labeled as ASIAN by americans, it does not matter where you are from geographically, Asia or not.  You simply have to have "slanty eyes".\n\nIt's like being African American.  People assume that if you are black, hey, you are from Africa.  \n\nIt's all about america trying to be P.C. and in turn being more racist and stereotypical.  Pathetic.

They are genetic. Native Americans have very little or no facial hair. Where as european and nordic peoples have abundant facial hair.  People of Asian decent also have very little facial hair. It all has to do with your racial genetics.

I'm not an optometrist ... but I'll take a stab at answering the question ... I think by squinting, you are narrowing your field of vision and therefore sharpening your view.  In a sense, it's targeted vision.

>>>> Why do chinese people have chinky eyes?\n\nAcceptable common terms are slanted, slit or (preferably) Mongoloid. Chinky is just plain offensive.\n\nAnyway Chinese people have slit eyes because the skin beneath the eyelid fold  folds upwards over the eye to some degree, producing a partial third eyelid know as an epicanthic fold.\n\nWhy do Chinese people have an epicanthic fold? Because humans evolved with an epicanthic fold. That particular feature isn't restricted to the Chinese, it is found amongst all East Asians and Native Americans and perhaps most surprisingly is also normal in the Khoi-San peoples of Africa. It is assumed that the first humans had the same basic eye shape found today in Chinese and San. Other human populations have since mutated in such a way that the epicanthic fold has been lost while Asians and San retain the ancestral condition.\n\n>>>>Why are there white people and black people?\n\nThere aren't. There are only two major skin types in this world: brown and not-brown.\n\nThe ancestral skin colour is assumed to be the brown colouration seen mostly amongst the Khoi-San and some South-East Asian populations but also fairly common amongst North-Western Europeans.\n\nThe brown skin type maintains the colour producing units of the skin in discrete clusters. The non-brown skin types have those colour producing units spread throughout the skin evenly.\n\nBlack and white skin are both largely the same, and both are of the non-brown type. the only difference is how much melanin the skin produces. There is no point at which you can say that a skin type stops being brown and becomes white as there is with the difference between brown and non-brown skin colours.\n\n\nThe reason some people have darker skin is because the skin has produced more melanin. People at the equator tend to have darker skin than people living further north or south, but it's a very poor relationship.\n\n\nThose people telling you that black skin relates to life in warm climates obviously aren't thinking. Brazilian Indians live in warm climates but they don't have black skin, and Tasmanian Aborigines live in cold climates and they do have black skin.  Skin colour has very little to do with climate and a lot to do with ancestry.

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.

Same reason that asians generally have super straight hair or caucasions generally have thin hair. We are all different on the outside, but that's what makes us great. \nI am African American and I am very proud of my hair. I wear it natural most of the time.\nWe should all be proud with whatever we were born with and stop trying to all look the same.

Not all Asian people have red dots on their foreheads. Only women wear them. It's only the Indians and some people from parts of Nepal and Bangladesh. There are a few reasons why women wear these red dots called 'bindis' on their foreheads:\n\n1. It is believed in Hindu mythology that there is an invisible third eye in between every pair of eyes. This third eye is believed to be a great source of energy. So the bindi is placed on the forehead in between the eyes to concentrate all the energy at that point. \n2. It symbolizes marriage, but unmarried girls are allowed to wear them. Widows are not.\n\nToday the bindi is worn more as an accessory. It comes in many shapes and sizes other than the big red dot. But these are the reasons why people originally started wearing it.

If they don't show interest when you approach its because they don't find you attractive. Maybe they just don't find asian men attractive or more likely, its just YOU. Perhaps if you weren't so ignorant they would find you more attractive.
