This work was inspired by the discussion of how the Slanted Eyes as stereotype towards Asian being symbolized.
On the one hand, this kind of eyes as a feature of certain or some Asian individuals does objectively exist; on the other hand, the strong association of slanted eyes with racism and imperial colonial systems in the global context cannot be denied.
In this work, Kaiyu is trying to discuss how the trend of stereotype being normalized and symbolized as race feature, and how the innocent feature itself being twisted and dissolved in the discussion of the normalization and symbolization process, then finally fell in to the cycle of chaos.
