Because you are not Asian I am guessing. The offense has very little to do with the actual eye shape of Asians and everything to do with the action. This behaviour/gesture is commonly used to mock, insult, and denigrate Asians in a very real way that often leads to violence. Of course you won't find it offensive because there is no context for you.
The fact that you don't know or realize this is indicative that we have long, long way to go.
