No.

Theres something called finneyes. It resembles to a degree epicantic folds, but has a few detail differences. In return way over 90% has that...
I am yet to ever see full epicantic folds here.


One of the main differences being is that the red dot right next to the nose (inside eye) is visible. Whesreas for epicantic folds its not. Which was also the criteria used by the SS.

Can you maybe describe "finneyes"? Is it perhaps semi-epicanthus?

[ikki]

Can be somewhat observed, ie the outward fold.
But at the same time, the red dot is visible... where the upper eyelids meet the lower meet the nose.

... or those of Mikka Hakkinen. To Western eyes this look seems unusual.
