Best Answer

If the Chinese people squint, it's for any reason that people of other races would squint.

The Chinese stereotype is that their eyes are smaller than people of other races, and that is often the case, but it's not like they always squint to make their eyes smaller.

The term "Chinese squint" is a stereotype that is not accurate. The misconception may be due to the epicanthic fold seen in some East Asian populations, which can give the appearance of narrower eyes. However, it does not affect vision or cause people to intentionally squint.
