'Asian Eyes' Are More Common Than You Think

The stereotypical Asian eye - the ones that are small, slanted and often with a monolid (single eyelid) - can only be seen in Asians...

...ok, not exactly true.

Just like how there are Asian people who have larger, non-squinty eyes; there also exist white people or black people who do have these squinty, Asiatic eyes. But just how common is it among non-Asian people, and why do they even have it?

In this video, I'll get into the different countries and ethnic groups from all over the world that you may not expect to have this characteristic. There will also be examples from some well-known celebrity faces!

If you want to find out what kind of 'Asian Eyes' you have, click our previous video on the topic. In it, we cover the truth behind apparent slanted eyes or small Asian eyes, hooded eyes (common in Caucasian eyes), as well as the different types of Asian epicanthic folds.

I like how he says east asia and not asian. Many people still think Asian are only Chinese Japanese Korean( east asia) . And completely disregard the rest of asia.

Asian eyes lyrics
By: Billie Eyelid

I've been watching you
For some time
Can't stop staring at those asian eyes

[amelije]

My whole life I’ve been bullied for having “asian looking” eyes, even though I come from Eastern Europe and my eyes are blue. My dad has the same exact feature and we look alike. I never really cared about my ancestral background, and I was absolutely sure that I don’t have any Asian connections in my family, but after watching your video I asked my dad about our ancestry and where does this eye shape come from. Turns out his grandmother was Mongolian!

One thing is for sure- no one is 100% anything.

I see the ‘Asian eyes’ with a lot of black people.

"Asian eyes" or "the Epicanthal fold" were evolved for the Artic North. The feature most accentuated in native North Siberian, to Inuits of North America. It is an extra fat layer to protect human eyes against Artic frost, freezing winds and snow blindness. Asian hair with straight, thick individual strand, but sparingly distributed per inches, is also a result of human adaptation to the extreme cold climate, to easily wick sweat and moisture away from the skin to prevent frost bites.

My grandma had very strong east asian eyes. When I was an ignorant child, I used to tell her "wow grandma, you look chinese" (Please excuse the ignorance of a stupid 4 year old romanian child). It makes very much sense now. Her eyes were slanted and "almond" like. I too inherited that, and it makes a lot of sense considering the mongolians came to what today is known as romania.

This is a video about asian eye. Anime eye is different story.

Conclusion: they are not "Asian Eyes". They are just human eyes.

Native americans are pretty much Asian, everyone's related at the end of the day

[leedonghae]

I’m Chinese, the percentage of squinty eyes and high cheek bones is much higher among northern Chinese than in southern Chinese

[lonelyhetaliafangirl]

This is very true. “Asian” eyes are quite common in Russia, Finland, Hungary and Bulgaria.

I'm a blond haired blue/grey eyed white Finnish guy with hooded eyes

that's cool

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Some people may have Asian eyes because of genetics
Some people may have Asian eyes because they're high


But one thing's for certain, Genghis Khan couldn't keep it in his pants.

Today I learned that my super Northern-European mother has "Asian-eyes".
