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:

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.
