Ask southeast asians
First of all,I am not very good at English, so I am using a translation tool.
I'm Japanese.a comparison video comparing southeast Asian eyes vs east Asian eyes was trending on TikTok.
To be honest, watching that video left me with a mix of anxiety and fear—but perhaps these aren't valid feelings?I’ve had a lot of fat on my eyelids since I was young, so I often used to strain my forehead muscles to improve my field of vision(I only recently realized that it is ptosis, and I am considering surgery.).
Watching that video makes me sad because I think that to Southeast Asians, I must look really pathetic.
If you find even this feeling insulting, I’d like you to tell me.
