    ... do people "de-ethnicise" as they age or something? I mean, I'm not asking for coherence in spam, but I didn't even understand that first one.

    LOL I'm only 32 but lookit how racially nonspecific I look already!

    i don't know the numbers offhand, but in certain asian communities, eyelid surgery to create a double eyelid (to strive for a caucasian standard of beauty) is really prevalent. the wacky thing is that it is SO prevalent that it has become a rite of passage and is somewhat ingrained in the asian identity. so, to preserve an asian ethnic identity, you have to have whitey eyelids.

    confused yet? :)
