I, too, have almond-shaped eyes, although not the flattish eyelid of a true "asian" eye. I have been asked if I have Thai heritage, if I'm from Singapore, the Hawaiian islands, etc.
I'm of Scottish and Irish descent with a little Eastern European thrown in. Or thought I was, until I mentioned it to my dad, whose eyes I inherited.
Turns out I have native North American blood, way back, but back that far, a lot of "white" families didn't talk about "mixed" marriages. It could be that that is the case for you, too -- just back far enough that there were still silly prejudices like this, enough to not talk about great-great-great-grandma's true heritage, but close enough to still have a few of her physical characteristics show up occasionally.
asian or even alaskan. Talk with your grandparents they may have some idea. Most of americans are some type of mix breed.
