My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Fcukpig,I've been saying the same thing for years.
Low foreheads and squinty eyes.
As far as I can see it has zero to do with race, as all the people fitting the above description whose pleasure I've ever had do not fit in to any distict racial category.
It is just an odd coincidence that from what I've seen here, the 'chav classes'* are more likely to look bung in the aforementioned way than the working, middle or upper classes.
* "Chav classes" are distinct from the "working classes" by their lack of "working."
