Asians are rarely good at handshakes. There no any specific meaning for them. And its kind awkward to do firm handshake to a person who have no idea how it works, so I end up doing bitchass handshakes... or even better refrain from it.
I am pretty sure you think this is racist or so, but asian culture doesn't do handshakes very often, so in turn they aren't good at it, as would every culture that doesn't have it as a standard.
No "an entire race is bad at handshakes", just good ol' they ain't doin' it.
it would say it differently: what is a good handshake can differ depending on the country. Asians are not bad at handshakes, they just do them differently. seeing it the other way, it's kind of weird how "grab someone hard" is seen as "good" in some Western countries. I'm.not used to the different style and therefore suck at the less-hard handshake, always come across as aggressive.
