\\\"Edward calling Ling \\\"squint-eyed\\\" and similar things is played for laughs and never addressed as a bad thing. Might also count as [[StereotypesOfChinesePeople cultural dissonance]] as Japan to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_issues_in_Japan#Chinese_people this day is prejudiced against people from China]].\\\"

I\\\'m pretty sure that the \\\"squinty eyes\\\" comments were about Ling\\\'s [[EyesAlwaysShut character design and what that implies about his personality?]] None of the other Xing characters share that trait with Ling, and it seems like a rather American/European stereotype.
