    Unfortunately squinting will do nothing but strain your eyes and cause your sight problems. A tip I received from a costume artist once (if you ever wish to try it) is to use eyeliner to help accentuate your eyelids to look more Asian. If you use it as close to the eyeline as possible and go all the way into the corner of your eye giving it a point (slightly) at both ends that might help?

    Yes, of course Asians can squint. Their eyes may look a little different than yours, but they work the same way.

    Sure we can. The eye can focus through very small openings, even a millimeter or less is enough to see through. Squinting doesn't close the eye completely, so we can still see.

    Orientals typically don't wear sunglasses because the small opening of their eyes protects them from sunlight!... Squinting typically isn't necessary for oriental eyes but I would imagine it's difficult to differentiate for people with regular eyes.

    Being half Asian myself, I can tell you that yes, I can in fact squint my eyes. AMAZING.
