In philosophy of mind, you can't know for sure that someone is conscious. You can only know that you yourself is conscious. But of course, basic logic warrants that you assume that others are conscious too albeit to varying qualitative degrees.
Therefore, saying that someone looks soulless is entirely your own subjective take.
Imo, a lot of us Asians have an extra layer of fat on our eyelids and have the down syndrome look. And we have fatter faces. So to caucasians, we look soulless. We are also a lot more melancholy and expressionless. The same way that Germans are more "colder" than the southern Europeans who are more expressful, emotional, and happier.
But technically, we are more human than you guys since we are on average, more intelligent.
And I know a lot of you stormfrontcels like to cope with but muh "achievements and innovations". Bruh... The Romans improved on the Greeks. The Germanic peoples improved on Roman civilization. The Japanese improved on Chinese civilization. On and on... Things change and people move on. Coping with but muh achievements is like an Italian dude saying the Germans woulda never got to where they are today without us. When literally no one gives a shit what the 2nd or 3rd place Italian dude is saying or complaining about.
monolids are a recessive trait and what defines the asian look.
it disappears in the individual when plastic surgery is done to the eyes, and disappears from the genetic line when miscegenation happens, creating what is called a hapa. (99% of the time from a WMAF union)
monolids are the most distinct and "alien" asian feature (to other races) and one not found in other ethnics or whites (except in serious anomalies like down syndrome as you said).
whereas other asian traits like wide, flat noses are found in blacks, for example (though it's far more exaggerated in blacks).
which is why it's retarded that whites can't seem to distinguish pure asians from hapas and claim that half-breeds like henry golding are changs.
i consider hapas to be "diminished" whites but not improved asians.
they are mongrels who are parodies of asians and symbolic of a satanic union.
when other races interbreed, it's not so bad, since most ethnics are mixed already anyways.
in the end, hapas seem more white than asian to me, though whites love to talk about their superior recessive genes.
i also find it appalling when hapas take up the mantle of being "ricecel" (here) and "asian" (elsewhere) and display self-deprecating behaviors as a way of "poking fun at themselves" (but in reality just insulting asians, which is another race from what they are).they should not be considered part of the group.
hapas also have a subtle form of white superiority complex and use their asian side to insult us. (they inherited this hate of ricemen from their noodlewhore mothers).
see how much ER hated ricecels and was proud of his "royal" english blood.
and yes, to whites, the way asians look may seem alien and weird, yet to me the opposite is true.
whites have an uncanny valley effect on me (immediately making me distrustful of them) and hapas even more so, since there is a hint of the familiar in their features and i see in them a corruption of myself by something antagonistic to my very being and central to my inceldom condition.
