Australia's Macquarie Dictionary has changed its definition of 'monolid' after a complaint the word was racist.
The dictionary defined 'monolid' as 'an upper eyelid without a fold, perceived by some in Asia to give an appearance of lethargy or laziness'.
But a Melbourne mother, who does not want to be named, told SBS News she complained to the dictionary's publisher, Pan Macmillan Australia, over the definition.
"When I saw the initial definition I was concerned that it was associated with negative connotation of how that appearance may look," she said.
