My brother has small almond shaped eyes. They are almost mongoloid in appearance (minus the skin fold of course). I hear they are mediterannean, but I suspect that they are semi-mongoloid.

I have always found descriptions of looks hard to understand. Almond eyes is one of those descriptions that I have heard, but never seen often enough for me to know what it is exactly.
I would guess it means eyes that slant upwards and are not in a horizontal plane like most caucasian eyes. I have noticed that some Indians have those type of eyes and that the irises are not small but largish and bulgdey. The sergeant Newman has a mongoloid look, the eyes and nose. I don't think almond eyes has anything to do with the mediterranean, northeast Europe maybe. Some Italians have odd eyes that slope downwards not upwards. How about some more pictures.

Almond shaped eyes are found among every ethnic group out there. Blacks, caucasians, asians, indians all can have almond-shaped eyes. Catherine zeta jones has almond-shaped eyes, even though she's from Scotland. Makes her look somewhat mongoloid. Doesn't however tell you anything about what she has in her genes though.

c zeta-jones is welsh, hence her mediterranean appearance (see tom jones for that look as well)
