Actually, the theory is that SOME asians have "slanted" eyes because of the weather conditions in their region, and throughout time, their eyes have evolved to adapt to their climate.
It's possible that Mexico, and South America has similar weather conditions, and some people may have developed the appearance through the same process.

It depends on how much of their genetic makeup is Native American. Native Americans, whether Iriquois or Tierra del Fuegan all have the same gene ancestry, ie, Mongoloid. All are genetically related to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc. more closely than to any other human subset.
Most Mexicans are part Native American (Mayan, Apache, etc.) and part Spanish (Caucasoid).
The Native American part also gives them that beautiful bronze skin and the dark hair and eyes, although Spanish have many of those traits. Mexicans get it from both sides, as it were. Lucky them!
And to be accurate, their eyes are NOT slanted. They merely lack the epicanthic fold of Caucasians.

Only a very small group of Asians have slanted eyes.
Generally Asians do not have deep-set eyes like Caucasians but most Asians DO NOT have slanted eyes...
Not everybody has eyes like Lucy Liu!

The theory is that Asians crossed the Bering Strait many years ago and settled in North America.

Slanted eyes are not just an asian quality. They might also have asian ancestors.

Chances are they are mixed with Asian. There is a very large Asian,mostly Japanese population in Mexico that has been there for generations.
