I think it was in bad taste. But I don't get what the pre-occupation is with oriental eyes. So there's a fold of skin. Big deal, why do non-oriental people need to pick on that detail? The eyballs are just as spherical as anybody's.
I have a friend, a girl from Holland, who tries to compete with my wife (an oriental of Han descent) on the 'slantedness' of her eyes. She claims that because she is Dutch, she has slanted eyes. She claims that being Dutch gives her this attribute honestly, while my wife's eyes just 'appear' to be slanted because of the epicanthic fold.
My wife is just like, meh. whatever. She just objects to people using the gesture in a hurtful manner.
