Um, I'm a slanty-eyed Taiwanese girl. And wtf, dog-piling much?

For the record, that "monofold" is an epicanthal fold, and depending on how much skin covers the eyelid (or in that chick's case, the inner corner), it can give the appearance of asymmetry. My sister's eyes do that and we make fun of her all the time for it. I like to think mine don't do that but they probably do.

So OP, I feel you. I don't get the racist vibe from you at all. I *do* get the racist vibe from SJ warriors taking it upon themselves to get offended on my behalf. Ugh.

Thank you!

Speaking as someone else who also does not get why having my eyes called slanted would be so offensive. Even if differently shaped eyes bother some for whatever reason, it's no justification to start getting all nasty and aggressive.

Can we please all calm down when it comes to online social justice and try to apply all this well-meaning energy to real life instead? Stopping voting for all those racist politicians would be a good start, instead of flaming our fellow fans anonymously...

I am NOT Asian and wouldn't presume to call something one thing or another to you, but my guess would be that this comes from a lot of racist language referring to Asians as 'slant-eyes' in the same breath as using other slurs.

From my (pasty white) seat it can strike me as the same tone racists use to refer to 'blacks' and the nasty tone given to the straight-out correct term 'Mexican'. The area of the south I'm from, all three I've heard with as much vitriol and a particular pronunciation that they sound like absolute swear words.

I am not whitesplaining at all, this is just what my guess would be as to where sensitivity to that word comes from?

and the nasty tone given to the straight-out correct term 'Mexican'.

What the fuck. Yeah, you're whitesplaining.

I'm not going to call Mexicans anything other than Mexicans, as if their very nationality is a dirty word. Fuck off.
