Answer 2

Southern Africans some times have an epicanthic eyefold (the technical term for Asian slanted eyes). Here is a Southern African Khoisan hunter. He's got quite a lot of Asiatic traits to his face.

It's a lot more common for Africans to have 'open' eyes like a European though. However, there are some black Asians called the Andamanese who have sometimes have Aisan eyes too.

These are probably the only people on the planet for whom black is an accurate description of their skin colour.
