This. Seriously, asian people do not think that the people around them have eyes like slanted closed slits -- they just look like eyes. White people who aren't used to being around asians think asians' eyes look super-noticeable and slanted because they're so much more slanted than what they're used to.

And manga/anime characters definitely take a lot from asian appearances -- most obvious is the way noses are drawn, with little-to-no bridge (because nose bridges are not prominent at all in asian people, so in stylized animation, the brides are completely erased -- the same way eyelids are often erased in western animated characters.)

Which is why another common way to show someone is a foreigner is by drawing their nose bridge.
