Not sure if you're intending it, but this reads as really racist.



For what it’s worth Mongolians call Westerners ‘coloured eyes’ - I wouldn’t immediately consider ‘round eyes’ having racist intent.

I can’t really defend that one though.


It's playing off the old trend of depicting Asians with slits for eyes and buck teeth. You can't call one racist without including the rest.
