What do the Japanese themselves think of the Bow?

LOL!!!

Somehow, I thought that the Japanese had a general disdain for those who are not oriental.
This must have been quite a site.

Well, lets put it this way...America threw off its feudal roots of respecting those deemed higher than we on the social ladder; Japan still has it in someways, and they probably think the bow was quite low.

Any self respecting Japanese man will keep his torso locked at 45 degrees from standing straight.
