Did you guys know that Indians think Manisha Koirala looks oriental, although we seem to think she is Aryan? Where did those almond shaped eyes come from? Why does she look that way? Also, many Magars and Gurungs I have encountered seem to have pointed nose. It's because various ethnic groups have been intermingling with each other for a long time. The first thing I get when I tell people I am Nepali is, "Nepalis look mixed". Why, if we are pure? This has been bothering me for a long time. Someone explain plz.

Well, even Chinese and Japanese can have large eyes. But their eye features are quite distinct from, say, Indian, Middle Eastern or European. Same with Nepalis. We might have big eyes, but even with big eyes, they look oriental. Manisha looks mixed.
