I'm not saying it is but bowing isn't a North American tradition. Plus the fist pump isn't a soul brother greating.

Now you done did it.... Gee I wonder how he should have greeted the Dali Lama, an Asian person, if he were concerned about making physical contact?... What respectful and appropriate greeting could he have used?... Hmmm... I'll wait while you think about that.

Hey no fair, that was one of the premises that okay'd his behavior.

Occasionally, you'll get some white guy try it with a black guy.
Not only is it unprofessional, unsightly and awkward, its also a good way for the white guy to get the "closet racist" check mark in the rumor mill file.


Everyone else..firm handshake for the win unless cultural norms are a factor (FORMAL greeting used in other cultures)

LOL. I didn't say the fucking grocery store.

I see all of this guys as just another man. I expect you to show me the same respect as you would the Dali Lama if we met.

And I see a lot of crying in this thread but it didn't seem to me like the Dali Lama was upset by the whole thing.

BTW I asked my younger brother quickly on the phone what he thought about it. He hasn't heard about it but he didn't think it was disrespectful.
