even the icons and cartoon version of the staff members the drawings have the typical slanted eye, and no double eyelid. Are there any asians that have regular eyes?

what were the geological or evolutional benefits of the slanted eyes, and how did the asians and eskamo people benefit with no double eyelids and the smaller eyes? Like where they lived was there little son that touched their eyes? What caused that evolution upon them?

Triviatm is correct about the epicanthal fold. In addition true asians do not have a small ligament called the 'levator aponeurosis' that inserts into the anterior eyelid muscle causing the "crease"or "fold".
There are still many variations depending on the region.
By natural selection, the windier the climate, the smaller the eyelid opening will be.
Also, If you look carefully at Jackie Chan's eyelids, he does have a fold in them. I suspect he is not 100% Asian. Neither was Bruce Lee, whose mother was half German.

Oh gah feeling bad because of what those two untalented stupid and ugly tools is the last thing you should do!!!! I can not stand Miley Cyrus and her slutniness and Joe and his bros cannot singgggg!!!!. I think asian slanted eyes can be very pretty!!! depends on how you play up your feautres too! You should be proud of your eyes...I mean if we all looked the same...the world would be so boring!!!. And you know what causcaian big eyes can "be ugly" too. Really it depends on the person overall and how all their feautures work together!

Asian eyes are actually as round as anyone else's, but there's a little fold over the eye called the "epicanthic fold". In Asians, it's particularly pronounced and the opening of the eye therefore appears slanted. It's a racial characteristic.

Answer:
Every race has attributes gleaned from the environment that their ancestors came from.
BTW Asians think Whites and Blacks have eyes that look like a cow's.

a better question is why arent white/black eyes slanted? its clearly a regional adaption that the eskimos share. what do the orient and the north pole have in common
