My daughter came home from school one day with a poster made up of various cartoon faces showing different emotions. They had talked about them in kindergarten class. The Asian faces were all drawn with their eyes like narrow angular slits while all the other eyes were very large and round. Ugh... Really? Please don't draw with this stereotype. Asians have eyes that are a different SHAPE, not SIZE. They may have an epicanthic fold that covers the inner corner of their eye. As a group they have a variety of eye sizes like everyone else. I stare into a beautiful pair on my husband's face all the time. He has very definite epicanthic folds, but they are paired with lovely, normal sized eyes. I can even measure his eyes and they are the exact same size as my Caucasian ones. Asians do not go around seeing the world through narrow little slits.
I dislike doing gestures but I keep trying...
