I've noticed that same thing on our subway system. Asians and South Americans who have recently immigrated have broader faces with well developed jaws, but their children have very narrow jaws. I have gotten caught a few times staring :)</p> Thanks, Anna for your thoughts on this post. I've noticed that same thing on our subway system.
