The Deep Formal Bow
Whenever I am introduced to an Asian person I do a deep formal bow. It makes them visibly uncomfortable but they can’t say anything because they think I mean well. I don’t.
A person describes deliberately bowing deeply whenever introduced to an Asian person, making them visibly uncomfortable. The joke is a darkly awkward confession of intentionally performing an exaggerated cultural stereotype while pretending it is polite, used as a reaction to knowingly creating uncomfortable social situations.
