OK, can anyone explain what this is all about? It definitely exists.

By the way, how is somebody who looks like this viewed in Germany?

He doesn't look Asian to me. He has that eye thing going on where the upper lids droop heavily as the person ages.

You need to get off the zetaboards OP and go out and SUCK SOME COCKS around the world to cure your silly fetishisation of "race".

My mother's father's family all have that trait. It is called an ipicanthic fold. They came from a specific region in Germany where it is common (the south). A Vietnamese friend of mine saw a picture of my mom as a baby and had a hard time believing mom wasn't Asian.

Thanks, r3!

And you're right---it's the eyes. A lot of Scandinavians have epicanthic folds, too.

Zey are UNTERmenschen OP

DO not believe the scheiss about eye-folds

Feh

epicanthal fold.

In the west it is sometimes the result of developmental abnormalities such as Zellweger syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, PKU, Down's syndrome, and Turner Syndrome.

But mainly it is genetic and its frequency drops as you go from east to west and north to south across Europe. SO it would be much more common among Lapps and Finns than among Germans. In Asia it is thought to be an adaptation to help cope with cold and high altitude climates.

Apparently it is all about the bridge of the nose.

He looks like Henry Miller.

Why are some Ukrainians so fair skinned and others are so dark? My friend is Ukrainian and his skin is olive.

germans are the "mittel" in Middle europe

[quote] Zellweger syndrome

Marrying gay, turtle-like men and divorcing them citing fraud or else just having plain, damned squinty eyes.

"But mainly it is genetic and its frequency drops as you go from east to west and north to south across Europe. SO it would be much more common among Lapps and Finns than among Germans. In Asia it is thought to be an adaptation to help cope with cold and high altitude climates."

Well, a lot of Scandinavians have them...more than the ones who are part Lapp.

It's why Bjork, who doesn't have any Asian ancestry was taunted about her eyes in school when she was little. Those Scandinavian eyelids...

"Why are some Ukrainians so fair skinned and others are so dark? My friend is Ukrainian and his skin is olive."

Probably because of these people.

Cornelius: These are you friends, Pierce? Minorities? Jewesses? And the unseasonably tanned?

Britta: That is inappropriate! And maybe you'll give that more weight since I'm whiiiiiite!

Cornelius: You've got a wide brow. What are you? Scandinavian?

Britta: Yeah! Swedish!

Cornelius: (spitting on the ground) Swedish dogs! Your blood is tainted by generations of race mixing with Laplanders! You're basically Finns!

I think that a lot of them look Eurasian

Why do you think we used to call them the "Huns", OP?

Mongolians Eurasians absolutely

Tatiana Patitz and Claudia Shiffer both have heavy eye lids. Both German and have Asian looking eyes.

Wow Bjork really does look Asian... I never thought about it before. The pic in the OP has caucasian features though. He just has heavy upper eyelids. He may have the fold underneath the skin, or like some of the other posts - was just born without the fold. (And surgeons in Asia are very busy giving everyone folds... and you can get it done here if your eyelids droop like that). The low nasal bridge makes the Asian appearance stronger, though that is not in the OP's pic. Plenty of white guys have hooded eyes. Some people get the reverse (hollow upper eyes as they age).

Caucasian restoration surgery (upper blephroplasty):

R13 Iceland is not Scandinavian.

Not as bad as Brits who pretend to BE Asian ...

It's amusing how foolish the SJW at R2 looks now.

I'm German-American, but I'm a 'Black German' just as there are 'Black Irish'. Black hair (now grey), green eyes, olive skin, and epicanthic folds on the eyes. My second job, at 17, was at a Japanese restaurant, where the Japanese manager said that I'd "fit in" (Oh, the 70s).

You do realize OP that humans have legs and have walked many places and settled many places riiiight? My point? Humans came from Africa and about 3,000 years before English colonialism and slavery EUROPEANS WENT BACK into Africa and mixed with certain AFrican tribes.. The San people (an African tribe) carry some of the most divergent (oldest) human Y-chromosome haplogroups. These haplogroups are specific sub-groups of haplogroups A and B, the two earliest branches on the human Y-chromosome tree. I see many threads about "how weird all these non blue eyed cultures knew about blue eyes" and "chinese, egyptian, and aztecs all had PYRAMIDS yet never met each other"......LMAO. In ANCIENT China a tribe of "red haired people who look like monkeys" were spotted and even documented. They're bodies were found years ago in China. They were wearing PLAID. They were Scotts. Scottish tribes wore different kinds of plaids, so you knew which tribe was which.------This isn't a mystery.

R24 no, Iceland is not Scandinavian, it is Nordic.

Joni Mitchell is part SAAMI, indigenous Finno-Ugric people inhabiting the Arctic area of Sápmi, it encompasses parts of far northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. And since many of these people worshiped Norse Gods AS WELL AS GERMANS you can see how some "Germans" look "Asian". WTF? They mixed. These people travele those lands, settled, left and so on. See many SMART tribes wanted to avoid inbreeding so they would send a few of their own out to another distant tribe and THAT tribe would in turn send a few of their own to the other. They Native Americans did it as well. Also, look at the Saami people now versus 100 years ago. Now they look "WHITE" but a 100 years ago they looked more on the Asian side. They looked like Inuits, not "Caucasian". The shapes of their eyes, the structure of their faces.....now you don't see those features.

My friend is Austrian/German and looks a little Asian. He had his DNA tested and he turned out to be 6% Asian.

I also noticed that. Here is 80's singer and front man Marian Gold of Alphaville.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The Mongols swept in from the east in the 13th century, decimating Eastern Europe, before conquering Hungary and parts of Austria. They made further incursions into Poland, Lithuania and eastern German lands, until their power diminished in the early 16th century.

Dee Dee Ramone---another Asian-looking German.

Former DL fave Luise Rainer

Epicanthic folds are, as far as I understand, an adaptation to harsh environments. You'd see them anywhere, from the far north to the deserts of Africa, where the weather is shit. People in more temperate climates have larger eyes. There's also something to do with how much light should be able to get in based on sun exposure in that climate.

All human traits, including skin colour, are just adaptations. Phenotypes. No such thing as race, scientifically.

The TV decorator who looks Eurasian is actually Nordic. Very handsome. Bromstadt?

Another example is Josh Hartnett..

OP's guy looks like what David Bromstad will eventually morph into.

Seriously, wtf. I present to you His Serene Highness Prince Franz Josef II of Liechtenstein. Looks like Emperor Hirohito.

Well now...

Perhaps Mickey Rooney wasn't miscast in "Breakfast At Tifnay's", Cunts.

Not forgetting Tilda in her mongol role!

Should Hollywood institute DNA testing?

Are there any famous Germans who look like that. I know of famous Black Irish and Black Welsh.

[quote] Dee Dee Ramone---another Asian-looking German.

Is he of "The Ramones"?

[quote] Former DL fave Luise Rainer

She is not a former DL anything. She IS a DL icon.

All descendants of Attila!

I had a German friend in college. He did look Asian, said he didn't know why that was. I thought he may have a descendant of someone who the product of rape by a Far Eastern Russian during the way or had some Slavic ancestry. He said he got cursed a bit and called a Turk by older Germans despite German being his first language.

" I thought he may have a descendant of someone who the product of rape by a Far Eastern Russian during the way or had some Slavic ancestry."

Oooh, that's a good point. People always forget that the Russians raped their way through Germany leading up to the end of and after WWII. There were definitely Asiatic Russians in the military.

That said, Scandinavians frequently have the epicanthic fold.

How to get punched in the dick:

"Hansel, I couldn't help noticing you have eyefolds. Was your grossmom raped by a mongol hoard?"

R9, Vsevelod Miller studied this in the late 19th/early 20th centuries.

Dark Ukrainians descended from tribes that settled near the tributaries of the Ros' and Dnipro Rivers shortly after the decline of the Kievan Rus' empire. Theses tribes originated in Persia, but by the time they settled in Ukraine, were Christian.

Tatars are not dark. The first Tatar I ever met in the USSR was a blonde, blue eyed bisexual who could have been a California surfer poster boy. Tatars later did mix with other Turkic tribes, such as Bashkirs, and those Tatars are darker. Volga Tatars are usually blue or green eyed, and they almost all have outstanding bodies, both males and females.

Russian model, Irina Pantaeva.

Norwegian singer, Morten Harket.

She is not ethnically Russian, r55. She is Buryat-Mongol.

[quote] Catherine Zeta-Jones

She may be timeless, but she's not German.

German actor Horst Buchholz had Asiatic eyes.

R62, I thought that was Katharine Hepburn for a second.

One hundred percent German-American and my family has been in the U.S. for 150 years. I had some uncles who looked vaguely Asian and I assume that might have had something to do with the invasion of Mongols into Europe.

Maybe 23 and Me could fill me in on the particulars.

Sometimes groups will just have natural genetic/phenotype variations among themselves even without the contribution of any mixing with a 'foreign' or 'other' group?

R29 Scandinavia is Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland. Nordic is those plus Finland.

Don't question me on this. I know.

White people look the better with it. In fact Eurasians are the hottest. You get some Asian brains with it too so it's a good deal.

For those without knowledge or reason, like [66]

i told you not to question me!

Eastern European Jewish often means sizeable sizemeat!

R70 Wonder if it's the Asian genes. You never know, maybe the combo permutes that way. Ah the mystery of life!

Said upthread alteady, but yes, Id bet the mass rape of German women by Russian soldiers at the end of WWII, could have something to do with Asiatic eye features among Germans today.

Many of the Russian soldiers came from the USSRs "stan" Asian provinces, like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan.

Don't forget the Yellow Hordes

Fail. I mean R66 = wrong.

Scandinavian pensinsula consists of Sweden and Norway. Greenland is part of North America Iceland is part of the mid-Atlantic ridge and not part of Europe or North America. Svalbard are islands in the Arctic Sea controlled by Norway Faroe Islands are some islands north of Britain controlled by Denmark as an autonomous region and part of Europe. Denmark is the Jutland peninsula and some islands Finland is its own peninsula. They are all considered "Nordic" countries, although Finland was not grouped with these until recently. Scandinavia as a region includes Denmark, Sweden, and Norway which all speak related languages and were historically a unit, but does not include Greenland, Iceland, the Faroes, Svalbard, and Finland. The word originally applied only to the part of southern Sweden opposite Denmark.

Germans are the least racially 'pure' in Europe - look at history. That territory has had hundreds of years of different people's invading and crossing, from the Roman Empire via the crusades or the 30 year war in the 17th century to everything that happened in the 20th. Germans are a complete mix of features.

"Prussia" is the name of a Slavic people who once inhabited the land where Berlin is now.

Germani is the name of a Celtic tribe, not a German one.

How about DL fave Finland's own Markus Poyhonen?

[quote] They are all considered "Nordic" countries, although Finland was not grouped with these until recently.

Only recently? Geez. Finland has been pretty much part of the Nordic countries always since it was part of Sweden for hundreds of years before Sweden lost it to Russia in a war. It was part of Russia for 108 years before gaining independence 100 years ago. After that Finland has been seen as one of the Nordic countries. And one might argue even during the Russian era since it was an autonomous Grand Duchy of Russia and apparently didn't have that much in common with Russia.

Eyes with an epicanthal fold. Common for both asians and nordics. And pitbulls.

R66 I'm not questioning it. I'm telling you you are wrong.

Most women (i.e., fish and sisters) avoid Ornamental men due to fear of tinymeat.

Denmark owns part of Greenland so the Inuits have been filtering in through Europe for quite some time. Greenland Inuits are related to the Inuits of Eastern Canada.

Mongolian female warrior tombs were discovered in abundance in Hungary.

DNA banks are revealing how closely were all related. Mexicans originally hail from Inuits as well.

"She is not ethnically Russian, [R55]. She is Buryat-Mongol."

Yeah, r55...There are dozens of Asians ethnic groups in Russia, and they might speak Russian---but they're not ethnic Russians, or even Slavs.

"Denmark owns part of Greenland so the Inuits have been filtering in through Europe for quite some time. Greenland Inuits are related to the Inuits of Eastern Canada."

Not quite true.

Are there Inuits in Denmark today? Yes! Did the Danish go to Greenland? Never. The Norwegians did---for several hundred years. Did they mix with Inuit? YES. Did the offspring leave Greenland? Not so sure about that.

"Sometimes groups will just have natural genetic/phenotype variations among themselves even without the contribution of any mixing with a 'foreign' or 'other' group?"

YES. The reason why we don't see more white people who look "off" is because smaller, older, pre-Caucasian (i.e. speakers of Indo-European languages) groups were absorbed.

Can we get a seperate thread about David Bromstad?

He is so sexy and sweet. I don’t know what his design is like, but I want to marry him based on the lottery show.

r13, c'mon, Björk's eyes are probably from fetal alcohol syndrome.

Supertwink Bill Kaulitz from the band Tokio Hotel. I was convinced he was part Asian when I first saw him.

Bill Kaulitz all grown up. His eyes are naturally very slanted even without the makeup

Bill used to dress like a manga/anime character, that’s what threw you off R93.

Out of the Kabuki makeup & the Ziggy Stardust costumery he looks like a normal Euro boy to me. There are plenty of Europeans who have upturned eyes, and no full Asian has brows or a nose like his.

We need a blonde, blue eyed Asian thread now. I’m sure there has to be one.

go back far enough and we all have a little of everything.

Wonder how many straight boys were forced to "question themselves" by Bill Kaulitz back in the day?

R55 Deary Irina is Asian. She is a Buryat Mongol ethnically and a Russian in terms of nationality.

[quote]Germani is the name of a Celtic tribe, not a German one.

No.

OP's guy looks like Lee Marvin who,I understand, was of Scots- Irish, English descent.

I don't about his ethnic makeup but he was certainly 100% BDF.

Not German, but Swedish. Jens Byggmark is blonde and blue-eyed, yet his eye shape almost looks monolid.

My husband is Polish (well, his family has been here for 100 years, but you understand). He has these eyes and I always thought for sure it was due to the Tatars as mentioned above. For Xmas I got him an ancestry DNA test, and he has 0% Asian, so there goes that theory.

Agnetha Åse Fältskog (ABBA)

Grand Duchess Tatiana Romanov of Russia

R104 she doesn't look Asian at all... ?

Russian model, Ruslana Korshunova

R106 In some pictures, she does look Asian.

Til Schweiger - a German actor. This guy looks a little Asian too.

I know she’s not German. But does Miranda Cosgrove look Asian to you? She does to me. For the longest time, I thought she was half white half Asian. I was shocked when learning that she wasn’t.

Apparently for some DLers all you need to look Asian is either squint or apply eyeliner.

R110 I never thought Miranda Cosgrove was half-Asian (although now that you mention it, she's a dead ringer for Kristen Kreuk), but for a long time I truly believed she was Latina despite her non-Hispanic name. But according to Wiki, she claims to be of English, Irish and French heritage (?!) Huh.

I also thought Ariana Grande was Latina as well, but apparently she's of Italian descent.

Its obvious the Disney/Nickelodeon/whatever networks are strategically aiming to cast actors that appear ethnically ambiguous in order to appeal to a larger market.

Klaus Maria Brandauer, Austrian actor, who performed in the movie, Out of Africa

I havw Asian eyes. But DNA test had 0% Asian and 40$ Irish.

Jennifer Lawrence has Asian eyes

[quote]I never thought Miranda Cosgrove was half-Asian (although now that you mention it, she's a dead ringer for Kristen Kreuk), but for a long time I truly believed she was Latina despite her non-Hispanic name.

She lied. I not familiar w/Miranda but a quick google search stated she was 1/8 Latino. Here's the link that breaks it all down.

Karlie Kloss is ethnically German and has an Asian eye fold.

I like a fun sturdy german with chicky eyes and mandingo-sized schlong. And there are plenty of em!

Come to think of it, OP's pic looks a little like George Schultz, former Sec of State and current shill for disgraced fraudster Theranos. Schultz has to be German, right?

The following is a video clip where an Asian woman transform herself into Taylor Swift just by using make-up.

I don't know the history of these unusual Europeans, but I like the look immensely. There's a home decorator on TV with this eyelid formation and I have always loved his look. Roy Rogers from yesteryear had this trait and it certainly didn't hurt his career.

JGL also looks "asian", but he is jewish.

Not German or a celebrity, but this creepy Canadian child molestor.

Irish reality TV star Jeremy McConnell

This reminds me--was I supposed to pick up a gallon of ecru at Home Depot, or was it eggshell?

Mongol ancestry from the invasion by the Yellow Horde. Eurasian is a good look, so the Asian is a plus for these Germans.

Yep R126 any those of us with female Hessian ancestors who didn't make it through the gates of Vienna ahead of the Mongol hordes was shit out of luck and became supplies for the troops.

Norwegian-Sedish-German David Bromstad

All mixed are a plus, mixed race people are generally more attractive and healthier than the rest of the population.

R130, what is true for dogs is also true for humans....

Germans are the most horrible people on the planet. Nothing appealing about a single one of them.

R124 he was a handsome young Irish chav and then he covered his body with hideous tattoos. Face a bit adjacent to young William Baldwin

R133, fat, caftan wearing slob who never had sex.

German sizemeat is the opposite of Ornamental timymeat!

OP’s guy does not look Asian to me. His other features aren’t remotely Asian. No east Asian has that nose, for one. His eyes are just small and his eyelids are droopy.

Slavic people often have an Asian cast to their features, and many modern Germans have Slavic ancestry. All this really means is that all of these groups of people intermingled throughout century, and you can look at contiguous geographic populations as a spectrum moving from any one direction to another.

is this the one in OP's photo?

Daddy lives in Zurich, R139. Will raw dog you if you're a twink in Spain.

Go spend some time in Germany, R135 and get back to me. There's a reason why the Germans should never be trusted and it's no coincidence that many deplorables come from German stock.

My daughter has the epicanthic fold, she’s as blonde/blue as can be. My side is Austro-Hungarian, Lithuanian and English. The whole damn family is platinum blonde with ice blue eyes.

I’m guessing that there’s some far-North in the Lithuanian genes. It’s unbelievable how my grandfather’s genes carried down so strongly when mixed with everyone else’s. Those things took over. Even my cousin who is half-Greek and his full-Greek wife have a child with white hair and pale blue eyes, looks just like the Lithuanian side.

R6 is correct. But anyway. It's anthropological.

These kind of eyes come from the mongoloid race that circle the globe. All of the Arctic, 360°.

They've been trading with Whites and Native Americans, Middle Eastern, Russian since the beginning of time. This is a trait that hails from past admixture. Eastern Europeans also have a lot of Mongolian blood in them.

Zellweger is part Sami. Basically blond Inuit. Bjork is full of crap and in denial. Needs a DNA test stat. Russians also have this flat faced, almond shape eye thing going on. Any group of people near Asia and the North pole.

The Inuit really got around like the Irish. They've been forced to trade with people further south for commodities like wood and metal. But here's the thing a lot of people are not aware of-most of all people living in the Americas, of all races have a little part of Native American genes in their bloodlines. Even if just trace amounts. Unless their family hasn't just newly arrived in the last 100 years.

The Inuit gene is rampant in the Americas. Rampant! People don't realise that the Mexicans are actually Inuit more so than Indian. A large group of Inuit people traveled in kayaks down the Pacific Coast of North America. They didn't stop off in Washington state or Oregon for whatever reason. They just kept going and settled in Mexico. Biologically your average Mexican is not suited for a warm climate. They're built and suited for the Far North. The Arctic, which is where they originated from.

I have the same kind of eyes, similar to Gordon Levitt's. I'm Portuguese and it's not common over here. Till I was 10 I looked really a bit chinese. Otherwise I am fairly mediterranean in other characteristics.

Once in a while people ask if I have a bit of Asian blood mixed in. I always theorized that perhaps I did, since Portugal did have Asian colonies for centuries, so perhaps one of my ancestors spent some time there and the gene popped up in my case. Other people in my family don't have it, except for a great aunt, but to a lesser extent.

Now that I've read this discussion about scandinavians and germans having this characteristic, I was reminded of the fact that my family did intermarry with a Danish family in the 19th century, so maybe that is where it comes from.

A couple of years ago some thai people asked me if I was Eurasian, so it does confuse some people.

OP: I'd imagine he is viewed as sexy! I'm of German descent and also have somewhat of an Eastern look. Of course, I also am likely part Native American so it could be from that as well.

R133: Why do you feel that way?

R145, I will reply on behalf of R133. You have never been there & if you have it was either a)in military or b) visiting family & friends.

They're gruff, aggressive combined with superiority complex. Social graces are forced. Something systemically wrong with them. I've found this as an attractive fair skinned tourist who can easily pass as one. Some distant relatives from there. As a whole, traumatizing. You're so frightened of accidentally breaking any rule. They produce great mechanical products but there's some sort of total societal lack of empathy & elegance that's like being surrounded by high functioning Aspergers special classes, I guess. You will completely understand how unpredictable a character they possess & how the Holocaust occurred there. Like the entire country is on the autism spectrum in some way. Even if just a touch of Aspie. They're innately dangerous. That's why the whole obsession with rules with them.

Something ^ systemically wrong with them. There will not be more than a handful of "migrants" standing in Germany 10 years from now. Watch.

R130, what a truth that is. Proven on some of these frozen places like Russia, Finland and parts of Canada. Amazing looking people. Then of course there's the USA but with a third and fourth dimension of otherworldly beauty adding in African and Native American genes to the mix. We're really starting to see this now with upcoming generations. Sure they have had a recent and terrible past but they've managed to turn it into a gift similar to a genetic scientific experiment. New World superhumans basically. They always land on their feet. Compare another mixed race place like Brazil. Didn't work out so well for them because they're missing that nordic element in the equation. That plane of mixing polar opposites of black and northern European whites is just on a scale of super hybridization resulting in an almost surreal admixture. Mary.

Uh, R148, I'm pretty sure there are people in Canada with a mix of Native American and African genes too.

{quote]You have never been there & if you have it was either a)in military or b) visiting family & friends.

Why do you assume no one has ever visited Germany as a tourist? I've been there twice and did not find Germans to be cold and aspirin-like. Very pleasant and jovial in my experience.

Martha Stewart, who is of entirely Polish heritage

Danish actor, Mads Mikkelson, has high cheek bones and eyes similiar to many Korean actors.

Here’s a picture of a young Martha Stewart on Wall St.

Ezra Miller owns this thread.

Young Joseph Gordon-Levitt

R152 She may hail from Poland, but on Dr. Henry Louis Gates' show "Finding Your Roots" she was proclaimed through DNA to be a direct descendant of Ghengis Khan. Heavy Tartar-Tatar admixture from her Muslim relatives.

Dunt forget me, Vairst Leddy of Joonited Stets!

I've always felt that Kit Harrington looks as though he has some Asian blood (south Asian or east Asian). However. it doesn't show up in his family tree.

R124 Asiatic eyes in some English, Scottish and especially Irish people could be due to the Viking Invasion a thousand years ago.

Maybe, these Nordic seafarers having interbred with the Sami people up North brought over this trait when they established the Kingdoms in Scotland and Ireland.

Vikings also visited the North American coastline. Vikings, who came in contact with the Indigenous American tribes like the Inuits, brought their DNA back with them when they returned home.

Catherine Zeta Jones as a child

My dad is Ukrainian. His family is universally blond, tan, green-eyed and squinty.

An amazing amount of interest about race and ethnic origin. Why does it matter? You first OP.

The one in OP's photo does NOT look Ornamental. And, the possibility of substantial (9 inches) uncut sizemeat is very real!
