    Another potentially good looking ruined by Asian eyes.

      because he isn’t Chinese.
      one of his parents must have to been Asian. to claim it part something-( in this case Asian) . to if not you are not part anything .. his claim for his Asian backgroun because of his eyes shape
      that is just an silly assumption.

      • Rokai says:

        He can be considered mongoloid since they are Africans who have slanted eyes like Asians San”Bushmen”, Nigerians, Ilongots, Aborigines Philippines, and Cambodians
