Are you saying that over 60% of the worlds population isn't 'normal'?
By that logic, then they ARE the normal ones.

Normal people? They make up a larger population than any other ethnic population so technically they are the norm.
But biologically, without all the racist bullsh*t:
The epicanthal fold (what we have) is something that all babies are born with, but those who may not be of Eastern Asian origin will eventually lose. The purpose of this "fold" is to protect the eyes from extreme sunlight and cold weather. Most people of the this part of Asia originated in Mongolia where the weather conditions were very cold and harsh. Also, with most of this population, you'll notice that there exists some extra padding below the eyes as well. With all that white snow and the sunlight reflecting off of it, don't you think with time our bodies would develop some sort of defense for one of our most valued senses--our sight? It makes sense, doesn't it?
Also, notice, that the farther south you travel in Eastern Asia the "rounder" the eye gets (their is less evidence of the epicanthal fold), since the climate gets warmer the farther south you go. Evolution, baby.

Asians are also normal just like any other race.As far as why they have such small eyes,I think it's a biological Asian racial attribute to protect their eyes from the snow

Everyone has different eyes. Asians have epicanthic folds, white people either have hooded eyes or deep set eyes, middle easterners either have deep set eyes or standard eyes, the rest of people usually have standard eyes, some can have more of an almond shape or a partial fold, aborigines have large
eyes

Don't say normal people first of all. There are more than 2 billion asians around the world.
And why do you care? They are just born like that.

Some Europeans have similar Asian eye shapes. Look at Bjork. She is Caucasian with no Asian blood in her and she has Asian eyes. So, these eyes are not an only Asian trait.
Ho-hum. This question (in the same words - do you cut and paste?) before. Given that there are more Asians (over 4 billion, 2.1 bilion of which are "East Asian"), they ARE normal people, but I expect you knew that, troll.

There is no normal when it comes to race. No one is a default! Asians, Blacks, Whites, etc. are all people and are all "normal" if you will.
Don't be an idiot!

Maybe because everyone has a certain genetic trait that serves as a defining feature. Or maybe they're the normal ones, and the rest of us are just weird.

I mean a lot of the time you people are just so stupid you don't know how offensive you are. Or maybe you're just so cruel that you don't care. Regardless.....you're a douche.
