That's just a fail on grammar, not spelling (although I do see that point). That being said, it's completely ironic, but not totally unexpected. I wouldn't say the internet is perfect or "the end all be all" answer to every possible error that can be committed. But that aside as well, it is a dictionary site for Pete's sake. Either get all your grammar and spelling right or don't start a dictionary site at all. Period. :roll:

Well then I guess I can't say I can see where the arrow is actually pointing.

It was pointing to the fact that when he says slanted, it comes up with all sorts of things about why asians' eyes are slanted. A stereotype in other words xD

Mmk. That's would have been my second guess. XD Although there is a grammar mistake there, too. asians should be asian's in the possessive case. That's what I was pointing out.

If you want to be a complete grammar cop, it's actually asians' because the possessive refers to asians, not asian.

Of course, this is a dictionary fail, so it's the one time we can be pedantic about grammar. :P

If you want to be a complete complete grammar cop, it's actually Asians' because words referring to citizenship begin with an uppercase letter.
