After hearing so much about the Asian squat lately online, by happenstance, I tried it. I was partially able to hold it, but it was right after a workout, so I’m using that as an excuse.
I’m able to do pistol squats well, so I thought the Squat would be easy to do. I guess it’s more about balance than anything.
I imagine it’s harder for European ethnicities to pull the Squat off, since they may carry more upper-body bulk, especially the guys. It’s easier for me since lean toward the ectomorphic side, so I have a slighter upper build.
If I were a certain way, I’d say this video was racist and ableist, possibly sexist (I have no idea what equipment the person with the mic is working with). Leave suggestions in the comments for what I should do for #reparations. Maybe mansplain to an Asian female how to drive well? I’m open to anything.

Anthropology: Asians have different hip and leg structure, different geometry. Upper body size is not a major factor. Caucasians can also not bear the necessary posture for planting rice all day, as most Asians can. Genuine significant differences in skeletal geometry.
