Re: So, seen the Republican Nominee debate on CNN

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I don't think he ought to bow to a world leader - to anyone. This is America. The whole point is that you don't have to bow to anyone.

I'm talking about when he's greeting them when he visits their country. And it's a small bow at that, just a slight bend of the waist. I don't see the issue.

It's a matter of principle. Bowing to someone, to me, is inconsistent with the basic principle of equality.

Miss Manners, at least, is vehemently against Americans bowing. As she argues it, if you're British, you'll never bow to anyone except your own Queen, even if they're royalty in some other country. Americans don't have a Queen, so . . . https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/miss-manners-for-americans-no-bowing-allowed/2011/06/17/AGd56ivH_story.html

<3 Miss Manners

what now?

[(Anonymous)]

Not even in a Japanese context? There's a big, big difference between a quick bend at the waist and prostrating oneself before a king.

Re: what now?

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to me given Japanese culture is, from my understanding, exceedingly formal at the higher levels of leadership. As far as I'm concerned, when you're a visiting dignitary, when in Rome... (And before someone strawmans, don't even bother. There's a difference between a basic level of respect expected by another culture, and going along with things that are simply not okay. A bow from the waist is not a big deal.)
