Why is the description slitty eyes racist? Is it used as a derogatory term?<br><br>My ex husband was Japanese and his eyes were slitty in comparison to my rounder eyes, our DD has eyes shaped somewhere inbetween, would that make me a racist bigot to say her eyes were slightly slitty shaped? I think she has stunning eyes and I wish mine were her shape!<br><br>I was often described as round eyed when living in japan, I didn't take it as a racist slur, do some of you believe I should have?<br><br>I may be being 'naive' here but I'm curious about this.
