  • That's a common misconception. Well, probably not all too common, but it is beleived by some that Asians appear to be 'cross-eyed'. People of Asian or Eurasian origin are no more susceptible to being cross-eyed than south americans, europeans, north americans, canadians, various african ethnicities, etc. It is sometimes thought that Asians are cross-eyed actually because of the shape of their eyes. The delightfully exotic shape of their eyes (my absolute favorite feature on asian women) is somewhat more ovular, or almond shaped than people of caucasian, latino, african, etc. descents. Sometimes, this may give off the illusion of an asian person being cross-eyed solely because the unique shape of their eyes can obscure the appearence of the actual eyeball, especially when said person is looking at a side angle. Typically, people who are 'cross-eyed' (i'm not sure if that term is entirely acceptable to people) tend to have one or both eyes seem to roll towards each other when looking straightforward or at any other angle. The misconceived notion that crossed eyes are a trait among asian people usually stems from the fact that the shape of the eye socket simply gives the appearence. This is not typical...people of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and all other ethnic descents have unique features from person to person, as does any other 'race'. Crossed eyes are not generally related to ethnicity in this case...it doesn't happen too often and it can strike people of any ethnicity. There is no evidence to support that any 'race' suffers from crossed eyes more than the other.
  • I notice that in a lot of Asians. In fact, I'm Asian and I'm cross eyed... It sucks.
