It's strange that the darker-skinned faces also have darker eyeballs, almost as if they drew it with all white faces and just messed with the brightness or colour balance of some of them. It looks weird.

Possibly it is to do with the fact that darker skinned people tend to have darker eyes. You do not see many Africans or Asians with Blue or Green eyes. (I believe there are some Arab areas where blue eyes are inordinately common, but this is a genetic glitch local to that region). Those of us who are tundra albinos are blessed with blue eyes. This is not a matter of racial purity or pulchritudinous conceit. People with blue eyes have better movement perception and a higher tolerance of pain. Although there is a higher incidence of colour blindness. (Indeed Xenophanes commented on the Thracians as battling beyonf the pain of endurance and he said it was the Blue-Eyed Kingdom) Blue eyes also give a higher tolerance of alcohol, which is nice! There are genetic links for this. Blue eyes come from the Nordic regions, the Tundra and northern Europe where having a tolerance of cold is a survival trait. So is having a fast movement reaction from the vision centre of the brain. Fast healing is coded for too from an evolutionary standpoint. Don't heal, don't eat, die. All these, and more, evolutionary traits were coded alongside the eye colour gene as blue is a better colour for living in White Out conditions. Only about 7% of the world have blue eyes, although in Scandanavia it rises to 99%! In Britain it is about 30%.

I don't think those are meant to be the whites of the eyes (I think the eyes themselves are just the black dots). I think the parts you are talking about are the area around the eye (the bits bounded by the cheeks and brow surrounding the eye-sockets for which I don't know the name)
Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

Fascinating I'm sure, but I was referring to the whites of the eyes, not the colour of the iris, hence my choice of "eyeball".

Your lack of precision caused the confusion. I'll you what I noticed. They were very careful to tick all the boxes, Black, White, Brown, Young, Old, Lesbian, Ugly, etc. I cannot see any that could be described as being in possession of an epicanthic eyelid.

Yep, that'd be it. I actually looked it up and the closest I got was the Infraorbital furrow, which wasn't quite right so I gave up.

The one who won't date you.
You'll have to narrow it down.
