The "eyes too small" thing is amusing to me because I have a personal reference. I grew up in a school district with very little racial diversity and was teased as a child for - among other things - having eyes that are too small. But when I went to latin america last year for a project, I had local men telling me that my eyes were pretty and that they wanted to marry a chinese girl. My eyes haven't gotten any bigger or less asian in the meantime, so it just shows how perceptions of attractiveness are skewed by underlying attitudes that have nothing to do with the actual physical features.
Also, mo'at's comment came in response to tsu'tey saying "these aliens try to look like people, but they can't." In that context, she's saying his eyes are too small to be na'vi, not necessarily that he's ugly. Tsu'tey DOES call jake ugly, but this is a common thing for guys to say when they're joking with each other, and anyway, tsu'tey is hardly a reliable judge of jake's attractiveness. :p
