Can I point out that squint eyed is not a racial description but a medical one. It simply refers to someone who has a squint or is making a face to give a similar appearance. While derogatory to those those afflicted it is not racially so.
Edit.. noticed WCH made this point upthread but will let it stand as bears repeating and the phrase is still being mentioned.
