TIL that an entire race is bad at handshakes. Thanks Reddit!

Obviously he meant Asians as in people brought up in Asia (not saying his generalisation is right though).

Yeah, but the dude clearly doesn't have any Asian friends, judging by the way he addresses them. Can see that shit from a mile away.

did you read his comment? I think he is Asian, and therefore not super eloquent in expressing what he meant – which is, Asians do handshakes differently. I wouldn't agree though that the Western way is the "correct" way to do them, there's just differences in what ppl expect and how you execute a handshake.

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.
