They don't
Although they may seem to, the eyes of Chinese, Japanese,
and other Orientals do not slant; they are, in fact, closer
to the horizontal than those of non-Orientals. The *effect*

epicanthic, fold of the upper eyelid --- one of the very few
genuine "racial" characteristics, incidentally. Children of
Caucasian parents often show the apparent Mongolian slant
until the nasal bridge develops.
