Hypotheses
Although most non-Asians cannot distinguish single eyelid from double eyelid, double eyelid does have an influence on the perception of Asian Americans.
Non-Asians would feel more comfortable seeing an Asian face with double eyelid.
Asian Americans would like to undergo double eyelid surgery to be accepted by the majority.
