So now 'slant eyes' don't exist? Last time I looked, they still do.

Are they supposed to make her look more 'western' to fit into the kind of ‘beauty’ that is attractive to Chinese?

I read years ago that the Chinese thought their eyes were normal and the European had the “slant eyes.”

Now I am so confused! “OH! My brain is strained!”—Quote from Lil Abner the comic strip.

Get ready for the Chinese Wokesters to go after the old Ferrari 330 GT and Bentley S3 Continental for their slanted headlights which became affectionately known as ‘Chinese Eyes.’ They can really go ballistic over that!

I don’t get it. She looks so unhappy. What is the controversy?

Mercedes-Benz’s latest hot car ad has caused Asian social media to blow up over ads featuring models sporting makeup that allegedly creates stereotypical “slanted eyes” which the Chinese find extremely offensive.

We don't want to start down that slippery slope.

We have apparently infected the Chinese with neurotic crybaby syndrome. That’s payback for COVID.

I’m very partial to Asian beauty.

But that chick looks like an Alien.

This campaign against companies (Chinese and foreign) for supposedly insulting in their advertising Chinese women for the way their eyes look, which supposedly confirms to Fu Manchu-type stereotypical imagery, has been going on for a couple of months now.

It is absolutely true that through WWII this imagery was commonly used at least in the US to mock East Asians in a disgraceful way. But now evoking this is just claptrap for the new breed of Chinese nationalists.
