"You Can't Be Asian with Round Eyes!" 

I'm half Filipino half European American, and my Living DNA results shows my Asian ancestry mostly being Southeast Asian and South Chinese, along with Japanese ancestry, South Asian ancestry, and Austronesian ancestry. So yes, Fung Bros are right when they say a lot of Asians are mixed, and I am living proof of that.

I'm full East Asian but sometimes get mistaken as Latino, Middle Eastern, or Xinjiangnese.

Meanwhile, I'm a mix Bewteen Indian and Irish so I get called Egyptian most of the time

I showed some pics of celebrities from China/SKorean and this acquaintance who's white, and first word comes out of his mouth "must be mix if they're so tall". I explained to him people from northeast China and SKorea are pretty tall for both male and female, he didn't believe me

I love that you two always talk about all kinds of topics. I also feel like people who have larger eyes who are mixed with Asian may not be seen as Asian because the features are not what people are used to seeing.

I know a Filipino who's always mistaken as Spanish

I am 100% Vietnamese according to 23 and me. But most people think I am Filipino, including my Vietnamese people. LOL

Happens to me all the time. When I went to Vietnam and Thailand, people always asked me where I was from. My dad is of Chinese (family name is 葉) and Japanese descent and my mom is of Austronesian (Filipino) and Spanish descent (family name Rodriguez). I worked in Bermuda a decade ago and a fellow Filipino mistook me for another ethnicity. I am fair-skinned and have a bit of a cross between round and slanted eyes, and my sister doesn't look like me as she is tan-skinned but has rounder eyes than me. So yeah, totally get the spectrum/bell curve.

Most filipinos have round eyes..

Love you guys's commentary😊❤ it is so informative, fun, cool and refreshing and you guys are so respectful 🥰🥰💝 Keep up the good work💯

Go to Philippines we have big eyes!😂and full eye brows

Filipino looks like all kinds of Asians because our people are very diverse so if you don't know the Asian race, just consider them Filipino, we don't feel offended, promise.

I'm Hmong, and some people think I'm native American. Even a Cherokee native thinks I'm one of the natives from Arizona. 😂

I’m Filipino and have big eyes and lips. Ppl think I’m mix.

I’m from a Filipina, Chinese, Spanish Italian descent.. and nobody could ever get it right that I was originally from Philippines.. everybody I initially talked to assumed that I was either Spanish, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian… and I am so proud of how I am not easily distinguished as Asian bc of my round eyes. 😂

My moms grandma is half Chinese while my dads side is Filipino with Spanish genetics somewhere in there from thousands of years ago I always wanted to have chi nky eyes like my cousin "M" when he was a lil kid but my genetics didn't work out that way 😂😢

im a tall vietnameze guy with tall noze bridge and i am very pale, allmozt all people think that im from greenland, ezkimo,inuit.

been discussing this since I was a kid and will go on

Haha… I’ve always gotten this, even when I was young. My mom would get so offended because it would imply that she’s a war bride (it was around that era). Nope! I’m pure Chinese (Taishanese/Cantonese) as far as I know! And the older I got, the more East Asian I appeared. The hapa benefits would have been nice though! However, I wouldn’t have gotten the full perks having a Chinese last name and all. 😂

I’m ABC but a lot of people think I’m Vietnamese, and for some reason lately people have thought I’m Japanese.

Yes you can Cambodian and thailand we all have round eye only the one mix with Chinese have small eye

I'm of Japanese descent, but have been mistaken for being Eurasian by some people, because of my facial and body hair, my eyes, etc. And I have more so-called "East Asian" features than my dad and his side of the family had. They were dark-skinned than many Japanese, and also had naturally wavy hair and their noses were not as "flat." They were still Japanese, but had more indigenous Japanese DNA, like Jomon, or possibly Ryukyuan, Austronesian, Ainu, etc. If having "Asian-looking eyes" makes someone Asian, then I guess that John Wayne, Elon Musk, etc., have/had Asian ancestry.

Just speaking for Eastern Asians/Chinese: Single eyelids are caused from cold weather, preventing eyes hurt from snows and cold winds, so more people in the North have single eyelids. People in Middle and South tend to have more double eyelids.

We're African and my Husband is Pitch Black, Lupita Black... He has Asian eyes! Which was part of the allure when I met him 😂 I'm regular Black with regular eyes 😩

I'm Lao, Hmong, and Vietnamese .. when I was younger , in America most non Asians assumed all Asians are Chinese, I believe I look more Vietnamese because sometimes Vietnamese people mistakenly speak Vietnamese to me assuming I can speak Vietnamese, which I don't. I also traveled in the Philippines and majority of the Filipinos assumed I was Korean Lol. I do not have small/slanted eyes. I think people who are non-Asian especially in western cultures who don't have many Asians in their circle correlate Asian with Chinese who typically who are associated with having small/slanted eyes. So if you're mixed Chinese with round eyes then you're mixed Asian, Ignorance plays a big roll with that logic though.

This video is my life.I m mixed East Asian , Indian and white . I get guessed as EVERYTHING. I have long legs , am tall and have verY dark skin. Because of this combination im mistaken as blasian especially if my hair Is in a very short fade. I live in Japan.

As a Filipino with mixed Chinese Viet ancestry growing up in Vancouver, I just have a LOT of fun with people of all races making assumptions and taking wild guesses at who or what I am. 🤣

Some Cantonese people tend to have olive skin & round eyes & I’ve seen some Japanese people with round eyes too. I myself have been called Chinese, Filipino & Korean. Mostly Chinese & Korean. I’m an ABC for context

You guys should really do 23 and Me, I really wanna know if h guys are Canto or not!!!!!

Not me being mixed Asian with round eyes and just realizing now why they always say u look white lmao

Lolol not them going “are you sure?” From their assumption when you gave them confirmation that their assumption is wrong.

Its coz the term “Asian” overseas has been synonymous to “Chinese” representation of small-eyed monolid feature people, like those seen in Chinatowns abroad. Even for Indian & Filipino, also among highest diaspora abroad, many dont know they are Asian too, but somehow Indian are just simple referred to as Indian, and same for Filipinos. Many dont know Asia is so big with diverse people, like there’s East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Indian, Persian, Middle East, and Western Asia like Israel, Palestine, Syria, Turkiye.

Han Chinese people typically prefer looks that are mixed of Northern and Southern Chinese Phenotypes (Actors who are representation of these ideal look are Dylan Wang-actor, Ao Rui Peng-actor, Gong Jun-actor) and Jiangnan looking Chinese (Chen Hong- actress, Leon Lai Yi-actor/people who are not Chinese might think he look slightly Japanese, Hu ge-actor), and of course Fujian/Taiwan has a lot of Northern Southern Chinese look mixed that are ideal to Chinese people like (Wallace huo- actor, Zhang Jingchu-actress), and also North Eastern Chinese have a lot of tall Models (Zhao Lei-model as an example). Those people are on average what Chinese people consider the ideal looks, but every one has different taste in real life so those are just for reference as text book pretty or handsome in China. FYI ideals are different for each regions in China of course and different people will have different taste too. No one look is better than another, and just because one look southern or south east asian does not mean they are not beautiful or handsome in the eyes of others. You never know who will find you attractive at the end of the day with what phenotype you have. Else where in the worlds have other so called ideal looks that people find hot and what not.

A tall tail sign of Asians is no eye lashes. I still remember that meme of a Panda, 🐼 with no dark eye circles

Talking about race and nationality is kinda like talking about what city/neighbhorhood somebody lives in, what kind of job they have, where they go to schoool, etc. It's like we're constantly trying to size each other up.

Most people tend to know the difference between people from the information they gain from the media. This guy is asked if he's Korean because his eyes are like that Korean guy from Lost.

My side of the family alone is "double" the Asian of filipino and Chinese, I don t think I have any Spanish though...Dad is half Chinese, he really looks more Chinese than filipino because he has the monolid eyes and the round, bald head some Older Chinese men have😂 and his siblings also look Chinese more than filipino..however my siblings and I have double lids, except for my older sister, she has the monolids and took after the Chinese side and some of my cousins look Chinese...now my husband is white(has 4 European ancestry) so our daughter is wasian and she has double lids, pointy nose, cappuccino skin and can pass for a Latina...wonder what her kids will look like if she ever has any

Yesss all the time

Dude has a Korean hairstyle

Funny how you mention Kazakh girls being hot. I was actually just in the far northern Xinjiang region, where many of them reside. And yes, I can attest that it is absolutely true!

I would like to keep my ethnicity to myself because I really do not like people negatively stereotyping my cultural background and assuming what language that I am supposedly to speak. I was mistaken and and assumed as either Chinese or Japanese due to my eyes and my hair.

I'm Indonesian, my eyes is round and my skin very tan. And i got asked alot if i have black father/mother. And i don't have stereotypical "Asian names" . And my brother is very light skin and could passing as east asian cause his eyes also kinda small

How come Kpop all look michael jackson white??

But is it really a stereotype if the feature is a well-known Asian phenotype? I don't necessarily think you could blame prejudice or ignorance for people making generalizations, which is something that everyone does regardless of race. The epicanthic fold is a signature physical East Asian marker. It's also present in other geographies but is mostly associated with Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Those who have less of a pronounced eye fold are typically mixed, so it's perfectly understandable why someone would make that inference (erroneously or not).

Some humans are uneducated and like to stereotype others. Who care if big or small or almond shaped or hooded or whatever eyes, like beauty and handsome come in different forms and everyone has different taste and stuff anyways. Now with Han Chinese, it is mixed bunch of looks of whatever. Most Han Chinese has almond shaped eyes that can be hooded eyes with inner lids or small double eyelids (not super big doubles like them Indian or Some Europeans or Middle Eastern and not really monolid like Siberian and typical Mongolian). I said most and not all, there are some that fall into the other side of course. The Han Chinese that have more almond bigger eyes with double lids and most likely are people from south east or south west areas in China or even north western plains Han chinese. Whereas some of the monolids Han Chinese typically come from Northern and North Eastern China typically, some here also can have almond size eyes too that are the ideal look. Han Chinese are different depending on the areas they are from, including Central Plain and North Western Han (中原地带central plains Gansu, Shannxi, Shanxi etc will have sharper features can be big almond eyes or monolids, and most people there are taller too), Jiangnan 江南地带水乡（east central water towns rice and tea folks, not as southern as others and are typpically know for Jiangnan beauties and most have almond shape eyes and standard Chinese beauty/hansome if people go to Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi), Shangdong Han, Dongyi东夷/Xianbei/Jurchen鲜卑 (North East Dongbei Three provinces and more northern folks and also Shangdong folks are the representation for being the tallest in China and has the most Chinese Fashion Models according to Stat), Mongolian Steppes 蒙古平原 (the grass plains and desert people who are typically more robust looking and bigger cheekbones and stuff), Bashu 巴蜀文化(southwestern mountains regions where mystical Shangri-la are located the people face are more sharper looking as well and can be super pale or tan which is the interesting factor), Tibetian藏族 (the tibetian high land people who are also in the south western part of china), Hui回回/Muslim/Central Asia folks on the silk road line (of course they will lean towards less monolids and more double lids or bigger eyes, but depends on person and some can look more mixed and other more East Asian leaning and as well like how Uyghur in Turpan areas can look more Han than not), and South Eastern people Fujian (mixed of northern and southern and people are are more in common with folks in Taiwan on average) and on average still consider more northern compared to other southern provinces like Canto/Guangdong/Guangxi (these people past history include central plains Han and them minorities like Miao苗疆, Baiyue百越, Nanman南蛮, people here can have sharper features like North Western Chinese or rounded features since similar ancestors as Austronesians in southeast asia and have close relations with). A lot of people in China are now mixed and features are not as easily identified as having one kind of northern look or southern look. Like some Han Chinese from North Western China can look kinda mixed with whatever to the nearby countries in Central Asia and stuff, and some North Eastern Han Chinese can look Korean and Mongolian or Siberaian, and some southern Chinese can look Thai or Filipino or whatever, and only to outsiders/foreigners that will point it out, whereas in China people don't even care that much what kind of Asians you look like and if you speak Chinese and can look like from East Asia, North Asia, Central Asia, and South East Asia, people will think you are Chinese lol. If you ask most Chinese people think central asian look can be distinguished from Chinese, most likely will be like they look North Western Chinese, because there exist a bunch of North Western Han Chinese that might look so called kinda mixed looking and also Minorities in Xinjiang (like Kazazh in Xinjiang, Uyghur in Xinjiang, small population of Russian In Xinjiang, and Kygry in Xinjiang, Tartar in Xinjiang, and others). And also if South East Asian who go to China and most Chinese people will think of them as Chinese as well if they speak Mandarin or whatever, since they can pass as some minorities from Southern provinces like Guangxi and Yunnan and stuff too.

First of all, I am female.. I'm what is considered Eurasian, (mixed) I have very small slanted eyes with barely any eyelashes, eyebrows and no eye crease. I have Chinese Ancestry (Dai) but my recent timeline on all this, according to my DNA testing. I am indigenous American, being of Native American decent.. This is a bit confusing for some people that try to guess, my ethnicity. Some will say I look Native American, and others will say I look Japanese or some other Asian Ethnicity.. My answer is I'm both, Native American and Chinese, plus More !!! 😃

Full blood Korean here with darker skin, non-flat nose and natural double eyelids. I get mistaken for Filipino or Latino often. Not all Asians conform to the ww2 era racist cartoon depictions of "yellow peril" Asians with slits for eyes, buck tooth incisors, and flat wide faces that white people think we all look like.

Some people asked me if I was mixed and I tell them I'm half Chinese and most be very surprised 😂

I think it's important to emphasize that the poster was not being asked in she was mixed out of malice. It was an innocent question, and I think it should be okay, to be asked if you're mixed if its coming from a good place

I’m mexican and did ancestry dna and discovered that I have a four Japanese cousin I was surprised

Like most ignorant people do, when you can't tell what ethnic background they are, just assume they are MEXICAN OR HISPANIC.

I would say that Asian Americans are much more exposed to other Asians than people in Asia itself are, since we have likely mingled with each other, tried different cuisines, etc. at some point. Someone in inner China has likely never come across a Filipino, Cambodian, Vietnamese, etc. Perhaps in a more metropolitan city like HK, there may be higher exposure due to the migrant workers, but that is only with a select amount of countries (e.g. Phillipines, Indonesia).

Identifying race by visual markers is always potentially inaccurate. I’m FilAm, but mixed Asian and Polynesian, and even other Asian’s will misidentify me. A Korean man in an elevator, who still has his S. Korean accent, asked if I was Korean. A Chinese woman asked if I was Chinese, which I am part Chinese, but I know I’m mixed. I do have small eyes, but not the mono lid. Although if my head’s tilted up, it looks like I do have a mono lid. At this point, I expect almost everyone to guess wrong.

I has Asians asked my son if he's asian because he has slant eyes. Asiana has eyes who were ancient because they were from. AFRCIA. My daughter, who is black people think she has white parent until they see me.

i have a round eyes and i can assure you i am 💯 asian 😂😂😂

My entire life I've been mistaken for Korean or Japanese because of my eye shape, face structure and skin tone i guess (?) I both have Filipino parents and grandparents 😅 but then I got the DNA ancestry done and I discovered I have Vietnamese and Chinese down the line and zero Korean. So facial features totally aren't indicative 😅

There are certain dress and hair style of Koreans vs Chinese. If your hip and fashionable, people think your Korean.

I like to be a pure Filipino, but I can't, I'm a descendant of Father Damaso. My great-great-grandmother was abused by a Spanish Friar during the Spanish occupation in the Philippines. My grandfather knew all along the lineage history of my family. My grand father is her son, not something I'm proud of. My 23 and me will not lie. BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. i'M TAINTED.

People don't understand nationality and ethnicity etc. Northeastern indians are not the 'stereotypical' indian skin tone. Chinese people also have lots of movement, genetically, because of the large size of china. Also the northern chinese do have some 'russian'

I’m Chinese and most non-Asians think I’m either mixed or Korean. Also have an aunt with round eyes and double eyelids. (I make that distinction because I’ve got double eyelids but my eyes are still “Asian-looking”)

I'm speaking literally and referring to the whole of Asia when I say this. If you're Asian with no recent European ancestry but have round eyes, then you have round eyes either because of West Eurasian ancestry or more basal East Eurasian ancestry (e.g. Andamanese/AASI, Hoabinhian-related ancestry).

This is an Asian forum even though technically I'm not "Asian" as a Native American, let me point this out: The "Asian" facial phenotype has the largest distribution on the planet. It ranges all the way from Europe all the way to Siberia and throughout South East Asia and the Pacific, through out the new world and all of North, central and south America over to Greenland and all the way down to the tip of Tierra del fuego in Argentina. If you disregard skin colour, it even goes into West and South Africa within certain subpopulations.

I mean this is the same as thinking all bIack people have big lips. Simple stereotypes.

There actually is Korean (Joseon) ethnic minority group in China.

I think the Korean assumption is people trying to give a friendly neutral compliment of sorts. I always had that guess in my later years but whenever people would refer to my race derogatorily growing up they would call me Chinese. It seems harder to recover from calling someone Chinese when they're not versus calling someone Korean when they're not.

I'm Japanese American. When I get dark brown in the summer people thunk I'm Filipino. 😂

I am Filipino but mistaken as half american but my brother has almond eyes and curly hair, and my other brother has big round eyes but all of his kids looks like Japanese

I have West Asia and Central Asian ancestry with no European my mother is full Asian i have Mongoloid features very much 55% Central Asian Mongoloid and almond eyes, eyes don't play a role test DNA ancestry can show everything if you have West Asia ancestry and no European with Asian ancestry you will have almond eyes look like Mediterraneans from Levant but with high cheekbones that Asians have i know because i born that way very good genetics and good looking

I'm 100% Chinese according to DNA test. Have light colored eyes so people think I'm mixed but here's the thing. Cantonese people almost always get it right. They talk to me in Cantonese straight away as if they just know I look Cantonese. So I do think I look very Asian. It's just people with little Asian exposure who think I am something else.

I am 100% Han Chinese, I have rounded eyes😂😂😂

I’m Asian and this one time back when I was in middle school waiting for my parents to pick me up these 2 Mexican kids walked past me and asked if I was Mexican and I was like “No”????? Like I don’t even look Mexican!! 🤣

I’m half Thai and English and whenever I go back to Thailand everyone immediately knows I’m a halfie - a lot of scam attempts 😅

Finally that Google Translation have Cantonese.

Asian Ladies Are So Beautiful To Me.

He doesn’t look Korean. lol

I am Asian 100% and Laotian with round big eyes! Also I do not have small eyes like most Asian. I look more like Mexican or Native American from what my friends tells me. LOL

A comedian said she was mixed Taiwanese and Japanese and that is why she looks Korean 😂 lol

I’m 100% Hmong but people said I’m mixed even Hmong people can’t tell that Iam Hmong. Some people said I’m Thai, laos, Japanese, Mexican, Indian all kind Asia people I’m happy for myself that iam look mixture every nationality 😮😮

They just haven’t been exposed to Asians. I have double eyelids and high nose bridge and dark thick eyebrows close to my eyes and it’s usually mixed people who ask me if I’m mixed. Asians usually recognize that I’m full Asian.

I grew up in Orlando FL for 13 years. Let me tell you i have seen penty of diverse range of people. The 1st thing i ask someone. Is not what is race. But i ask how long you lived in Central Florida. If answer no there visiting. Then i ask where there from. I love hearing stories people all around the world. For 10 years i have a chart. Of someone who is from other states. And another country. All the 200 countries that i had fill in 10 years talking to people where from 129 countries have already been full. 389 people i talked to. This is the one largest in my chart in Asia group. 30 korean 48 Chinese 13 Philippines 28 Japanese 20Vietnamese That is 139 people 😂 almost 1/3 i talked that here on vacation 😂

I'm half chinese, half cambodian with big eyes and also born in Thailand, and raised in Canada 😂😂. According to🎉 Caucasian asain is asain😂😂😂..

LOL. I am Hmong. People always think I’m Chinese. My husband gets mistaken for being Japanese. They can’t seem to figure out my daughter. My youngest brother always gets mistaken as Hispanic. My older brother always gets asked if he’s Hawaiian. I have an Aunt and cousins who have blond hair and blue eyes which is rare.

I'm chinese/portuguese and i dont even know what i look like lmao

Round eyes in Asia 🌏. See 👀 the European 🇪🇺 influences. Spain 🇪🇸-> Philippines 🇵🇭. Netherlands 🇳🇱-> Indonesia 🇮🇩. UK 🇬🇧 -> India 🇮🇳, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Singapore 🇸🇬. France 🇫🇷 -> Cambodia 🇰🇭, Laos 🇱🇦, Vietnam 🇻🇳 . Portugal 🇵🇹-> Macau 🇲🇴, Timor-Leste 🇹🇱.

Yeah. It's somewhat annoying when people say "Really? You don't look Chinese, you look more like (insert: Japanese/Uyghur/mixed race A and B, ect.) because of my round eyes. "Oh, so those double eyelids, and your nose, were result of surgeries? Because Chinese people do not have double eyelids right, so if you really are Chinese, where did you get your surgery done, who made your eyes and your nose?" Like seriously wth, even Chairman Mao had double eyelid and quite round/large eyes too when he was young,

You mean you are not Korean !?!?! #mindblowing

Fung Bros don’t look Mixed at All . Not even close to Korean

I’ve been mistaken for being Hispanic 😂

Donnie yen, Bruce Lee , Chow Yun Fat, etc don’t have slanted eyes Edit: Bruce Lee is actually a little mixed

Don’t forget many of us are the legacy of the prolific progeny of Ghengis Khan clan across Asia and Europe😅

When AI colored my hair brown/blond and made me lighter,I look teutonic viking LOL, Darker hair and light skin Hispanic, Turkish, Pakistani or dark hair and skin Indian , when I wake up early I look kind of Chinese light with skin and dark hair. When AI made my hair wooly and dark I look sub saharan african. That's why I am Filipino. lol. Sometimes I don't know what to say. I'm not even half of anything else.

I've actually seen way more asians with rounder eyes than the typical slit style... they may have been mixed or not, but I find the classic look of very narrow eyes is becoming rarer and rarer

It must be the eyelids' surgery . A lot of asian have it done, and those who have more round eyes , it must be surgeries.

1:39 David looks japanese and andrew looks korean. Even though they're both chinese brothers. This was just my opinion physically

For Westerners, Asians are East Asians with stereotyped appearances of East Asians (slanted eyes, yellow skin, short, etc). People from other countries in their first view are not Asian,after they learn geography, they will admit it 😂

I moved from Cali to the mid west in this state that borders Canada I’ve been mistaken for Korean by white people a lot.

I am an Asian guy, and I accepted the fact that most women don't find Asian guys like me attractive. I don't complain, there's nothing I could do anyway. I'll just try to better myself.

Uh.... 1/3 of Taiwan has big round eyes, what the fuck are they talking about :P

I dont care i am proud of my mixed race Chinese/Filipino❤

Hollywood actress Emilia Clarke is half Indian; does her natural blonde hair and blue eyes make it impossible for her to be Asian?
