• The “Asian” Squat: Squatting toilets are still common in Indonesia, but they’re becoming less frequent in places like shopping malls or hotels. Dry sitting toilets are just easier to clean and more hygienic. Squatting while using the toilet is actually better for your health, but it’s not always practical for everyone; overweight people and pregnant women, for example, often find sitting toilets more accommodating. That’s why sitting toilets are more widely accepted these days. • Chopsticks: I wouldn’t call chopsticks a definitive symbol of “Asian-ness,” as they’re primarily used by East Asians. Like Stefanie said, when we’re not eating with our hands, our utensils of choice are spoons and forks. We do use chopsticks occasionally for Chinese-influenced foods like noodles, spring rolls, and dumplings, but it’s not a universal practice. I don’t think these two things can define who’s the “most Asian” among Asians. Asia is a massive continent with a vast diversity of cultures, customs, and ways of life.
With some practice, most people can learn to do a deep squat. For many individuals from Western cultures, the challenge often comes from not having squatted regularly, as they tend to be more accustomed to sitting or standing when resting or waiting. As long as there are no physical limitations, such as stiff ankles or high arches, most people can manage this position. The main difference is that in some cultures, squatting has been a common practice since childhood, even in public spaces, so people’s bodies adapt to it over time. In contrast, squatting is less common in other cultures, where it may not be seen as an everyday activity. Ultimately, it comes down to personal ability and what is considered normal in different societies. In cultures where squatting is less common, it may not be practiced as much, which influences how easily people can do it. But with enough practice, most people are certainly capable of achieving it.
@ Yes. Referring to it as the “Asian squat” is problematic. As someone in the comments pointed out, Slavic people can also squat like this. In fact, anyone with good ankle mobility and who regularly practices deep squatting exercises can achieve this position. Not just in Asia (which is really a home to a diverse range of cultures), this type of squatting is also particularly common in Eastern Europe, where it remains a more ingrained habit than in Western Europe.
@@kilanspeaks Seldom seen that in eastern Europe, I must say. But I've seen it with the Sami people in northern Europe (here in Scandinavia) as well as in west Africa (my job in the 80s). Not as common as it is in Asia though, where people seems better adapted for it (long torso and short legs).
The usage of chopstick is actually quite limited to countries under Sinosphere influence (China, Japan, Korea, mainly East Asian countries). While the rest of Asia (Middle East, South, Southeast, North, Central Asia) do not consider chopstick as main eating utensils.
@@miming9409 His point still stand though. Asian from the Middle east, South Asia & most part of Southeast asia use hand (fingers) *not chopsticks* to eat.
Vietnamese, Yue Chinese, Min Chinese, Korean, and Japanese were all influenced by Middle Chinese, because their ancestors travelled to the capital of the cosmopolitan Tang Empire to learn more about Buddhism. Mandarin originated from the northern Central Plains (#) after the Chinese Empire had essentially abandoned it. The Han Chinese (Song, ) ceded more and more northern territories to the Khitan (Liao, 遼朝), the Jurchen (Jin, 金朝), and the Mongols (Yuan, ). Mandarin is a mix of influences from Middle Chinese of the Han and the languages of these nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples. Transition to the Manchu (Qing,) added more non-Han influence to Mandarin. and it continued to develop distinctly from the peripheries in central and northern China. After 3rd Ming Emperor Yongle ( aka ) moved the capital to the north, China's capital remained Beijing up to the present day, aside from the ROC period (1911-1949), and Mandarin's prestigious
The Vietnamese Girl is so beautiful. I am from India and of course cultural conditioning is there, a little bit prejudiced in favour of our Indian beauty yet Vietnamese girl's presence is extremely appealing.
There's no single Asian identity. Japanese, Iranians, Filipinos, Arabs, Timorese, Mongolians, Uzbek, Bangladeshis, and Khmer are all Asians but they're all very different from each other for instance. Even individual countries are very diverse within.
Since we are Bengalis, we don't use chopsticks in Bangladesh. We usually use our hands to eat which is our tradition. But sometimes we use spoon and fork.
Yeah, it's right that in Bangladesh we don't use chopsticks. But in Bangladesh there are many Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai restaurants. So nowadays we're trying to use chopsticks.
Vietnamese here!! Asia is huge we have various regions and spheres and obviously each regions and spheres have different cultures. AND CHOPSTICKS ARE THE SINOSPHERE (CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, VIETNAM) THING!!!
According to Chinese historical records, the earliest chopsticks discovered in China were in the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. The actual history of chopsticks may be even longer. They were later introduced to Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries.
I've travelled across Asia quite a lot, and I can say the Philippines is definitely the least "Asian." Filipinos are practically latinos trying to be Asian! 😂 Loved my stay in the Philippines... felt so much like home. I hope to be back there really soon! ❤
@@GminHyun Nah, Filipinos in general look more like less oriental version of Thais, though some do look like latinos. Malaysians and Indonesians look more Indian than Filipinos. But I'm not talking about looks and I can see what you're doing, don't push it.... it's not working. HAHAHA!
As a Brazilian, I once went to a Chinese restaurant in my city and when I tried to use the chopsticks, my food, which was a breaded dumpling, flew across the restaurant. I have never made such a fool of myself in a place HAHAHA
who's making the standards? i mean the chopsticks is so unnecessary. why don't u consider to include eating with hand? since most of asians also eat their food bare hand, this just so funny
I think chopsticks are not a symbol of Asian countries because not all Asian countries use chopsticks, such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, they will definitely have a hard time using chopsticks.
Not many people in Indonesia use chopsticks. We just eat rice with our hands 😅. Or use plastic forks and spoons. I have never seen Indonesians eat noodles with chopsticks.
I did, kinda different region coz in my region when we go to chinese resto or japanese resto we use chopsticks, or when we eat mie ayam we use chopsticks as well.
Why does The USA always have to be the center of attention or being a judge in almost every single video ? Is the world centered in The USA or what ? The world isn't just about The USA and how The USA sees the world, it's cringe tho 🙄. And the title of this UA-cam channel is " World friends" , but is too biased towards one country which is obvious tho 🙄 So sickening, ew
If you browse enough videos, you can find more people from the UK, Germany, Brazil, some Latin America, Scandinavian, etc taking part as "judge". Probably English speaking countries are more often, I don't know. Just note this is a USA channel though located in South Korea.
I'm guessing most of their viewers are from the USA. So yes, they'll cater more to their more numerous viewers and occasionally dip to others. It's natural.
Here is the thing, to all of you saying that chopsticks isn't a symbol of Asia. Asia is big with many countries, that's true, but it's your problem that you don't represent your country's image to the world, nobody know what the heck is going on within your country, meanwhile we EAST ASIA did and still is doing that, we BRING our culture in front to show the world what ASIAN is like. So YES, chopsticks IS the symbol of Asian, until you can actually do something about represent yourself, just shut it, because it's OUR EAST ASIAN reward
Perfect representative for the Philippines. you know when we viewers have stuff we'd want to share so we immediately go to the comment section, she already said all that. i didn't even thought about the serving spoon thing but that one is true
No one ever mentions that with the squat, you're sitting more than squatting. Your butt is planted on your calf so it's literally a resting position and hence why people can sit in that spot for a long time. Most of the body weight is shifted onto the legs so no energy is being used.
chopstick actually oriental (shinto) culture: like han, yayoi, korean. influenced by konfusianism and taoism; its about symbol of cleanles, discipline, rice, &noodle. any other asian influenced by islam and bharat are eating with finger
Don't spread nonsense. Chopsticks have nothing to do with Shintoism. It was invented in China by Han Chinese. The tradition of picking bones of deceased with chopsticks is also from Chinese culture.
We may use our hands more often, but we also wash them before eating. So should we use chopsticks to eat burgers, pizza, tacos, and more? we also have a hadith that says "cleanliness is part of faith" so someone who practices his religion in his daily life will definitely always practice it. Not just as an identity and besides that, many people don't know that eating food using bare hands also has benefits. But again you wash your hands before eating. Please search either via AI or Google what are the benefit.
"Asian squat" - proceeds to show picture of what we call "slav squat". In Poland/Russia/etc. many people can sit in deep squat easily and many can not. It's a position that is just comfortable for some people and people give it names but it can be comfortable for any nation as long as the person has good bone proportions for this. I identify this the most with olympic weightlifting because olympic weightlifters can do the most beautiful deep squat (slav squat/asian squat). For me (Poland) personally this kind of squat is very nice and I could chill like that (yes, with heel nicely glued to the ground, so my weight distributed between toes and heel) but I have good ankle mobility and I know polish people who cannot do this with heel down. In eastern Europe we do the wide legs version just like on picture so that the body is nicely hidden between legs. But I can do the narrow legs one too and it's also comfy.
I can't use chopsticks properly cuz It's not used here in Bangladesh. So does that make me any LESS asian than ppl living in SK, japan & china? I don't think so.
BULLSH*T TITLE 😂 How to define "The Best Asian?" tho? By american stereotypes? Than YOU KNOW NOTHING about asia lol South east asia, east asia, south asia, central asia, and even middle east are sooo different and multicultural
@@one908 No error, just a confusing usage of "Asia" as in "Far East". This reminds me of the video on the Middle-East where every non-arab freaked out of being assimilated to Arabs 😂
@@one908 Not error but controversial like saying who is most Asian what that's even mean ?? Asia as a continent is really diverse we have West Asia(usually middle east) South Asia(Indian subcontinent), East Asia 🇨🇳🇯🇵🇰🇷🇹🇼🇲🇳, Southeast Asia, central asia(former Soviet countries) and North Asia 🇷🇺. So saying which countries use chopsticks is very bad because most of the Asian countries don't use chopsticks they use hands to eat and there is stereotype like Asia means these 3 🇨🇳🇯🇵🇰🇷🤷🏻
I'm American and I learned how to use chopsticks (self-taught) many years ago. I was hungry and one of my roommates had brought home some leftover Chinese food in a take-out container and she said I could have it but only if I used chopsticks to eat it with. Hunger is a great motivator. I hold mine in the middle, otherwise they tend to "scissor" and i end up spraying food all over. I haven't used them in many years. I wonder if I still remember how?
I don't remember the exact video, but in one of the meals comparisons, a girl came with a possible explanation as to why Korea uses metal chopsticks instead of wooden ones : because China's cuisine tends to use more oil, wooden chopsticks work better, whereas metal ones get slippery.
Its such a racist video i mean ofc its made in korea by a American channel(two of most racist countries) but chopsticks?? in whole asia with 48 countries only 4 use them i am reporting this video i hope other asians do same
I only admit that East Asia uses chopsticks under the influence of the Chinese cultural circle, excluding the whole of Asia. The title is too absolute.
2:20 There is a scientific reason behind sitting in the Asian squat position, especially for pooping. It applies pressure to your stomach, helping to expel whatever is stuck there, thus cleaning your stomach. This can potentially prevent long-term stomach issues. When you squat, the puborectalis muscle relaxes, which straightens the rectum and makes it easier to pass stool. This position reduces the effort needed to defecate, potentially preventing issues like constipation or hemorrhoids.
The reason that American girl couldn't do the squat very well maybe because she wore tight jean... I can't really use Korean chopstick, they're too slippery.
Fun Fact Bangladesh used to be part of India so they pretty much have the same culture. Even the language of Bangladesh Bengali is spoken in some parts of India.
Squat is actually very good to the health and ppl who can squat long time (with practice) have no issues with knee pain and they actually have skinnier legs 😂
In eastern Indonesia squat is common for the punishment if you lost during play card, the card game we used to call kartu remi, thus if you lost you will get this punishment 😂
👀 judging eyes for Stephanie But seriously, most people don't know how to use chopsticks properly in Indonesia 😅 I'd say it's more commonly taught in chinese descent Indonesian, but I know many people who use chopsticks like her
In Indonesia, we usually squat when in toilet, playing games (in sundanese we call ucing Gogo/cingogo), and when gossiping, when hangout with friends while smoking. Wkwk
I can't with the title. I'm so tired of being labelled 'less Asian' just because I don't use chopsticks to eat. The erasure of other Asians' identity and culture outside of East Asia is so real.
bro.. she doesn't look like really Indonesian💀. I think she's Chinese/Korean but born in Indonesia. because many Chinese people live in Indonesia. fyi, in Indonesia we don't use chopsticks for eat noodles🙄. but Chindo(Chinese Indonesian) usually use chopsticks for eat... noodles. bruhh🗣. oh ya.. don't think all asian have the same culture like Chinese, Korean, or Japanese😮💨.
Stephanie is definitely Chinese Indonesian but for chopstick many native Indonesians like Javanese use chopstick to eat mie ayam that sold by street vendors.
As a Japanese guy, the Japanese girl doesn't look Japanese; she looks Korean. Because her language is Korean, she's pretty fluent like a native speaker. But I'm not considering other cases, like growing up with Korean parents in Japan, so I'm not sure. Whatever, what I can say for sure is what she talks about is pretty accurate.
For me Jenny from Vietnam look more Japanese, judging by her fashion style . I really thought she Japanese before. but everything became different when she started talking 😅

Bangladesh also on fire 🇧🇩🔥
chopstick actually oriental (shinto) culture: like han, yayoi, korean. influenced by konfusianism and taoism; its about symbol of cleanles, discipline, rice, &noodle. any other asian influenced by islam and bharat are eating with finger
Don't spread nonsense. Chopsticks have nothing to do with Shintoism. It was invented in China by Han Chinese. The tradition of picking bones of deceased with chopsticks is also from Chinese culture.
Wow, so East Asian culture influence is much better than Bharat and Islam👍
@@mufari865what do you mean by commenting like that?
We may use our hands more often, but we also wash them before eating. So should we use chopsticks to eat burgers, pizza, tacos, and more?
we also have a hadith that says "cleanliness is part of faith" so someone who practices his religion in his daily life will definitely always practice it. Not just as an identity
and besides that, many people don't know that eating food using bare hands also has benefits. But again you wash your hands before eating. Please search either via AI or Google what are the benefit.
"Asian squat" - proceeds to show picture of what we call "slav squat". In Poland/Russia/etc. many people can sit in deep squat easily and many can not. It's a position that is just comfortable for some people and people give it names but it can be comfortable for any nation as long as the person has good bone proportions for this. I identify this the most with olympic weightlifting because olympic weightlifters can do the most beautiful deep squat (slav squat/asian squat). For me (Poland) personally this kind of squat is very nice and I could chill like that (yes, with heel nicely glued to the ground, so my weight distributed between toes and heel) but I have good ankle mobility and I know polish people who cannot do this with heel down. In eastern Europe we do the wide legs version just like on picture so that the body is nicely hidden between legs. But I can do the narrow legs one too and it's also comfy.
Hello l am from Bangladesh 💚
I can't use chopsticks properly cuz It's not used here in Bangladesh.
So does that make me any LESS asian than ppl living in SK, japan & china? I don't think so.
BULLSH*T TITLE 😂
How to define "The Best Asian?" tho? By american stereotypes? Than YOU KNOW NOTHING about asia lol
South east asia, east asia, south asia, central asia, and even middle east are sooo different and multicultural
I agree with you
Wow Title is really controversial everyone is pointing out 😅
Where is the error in the title?
@@one908there is no single "Asian identity".
@@one908 No error, just a confusing usage of "Asia" as in "Far East". This reminds me of the video on the Middle-East where every non-arab freaked out of being assimilated to Arabs 😂
@@one908 Not error but controversial like saying who is most Asian what that's even mean ?? Asia as a continent is really diverse we have West Asia(usually middle east) South Asia(Indian subcontinent), East Asia 🇨🇳🇯🇵🇰🇷🇹🇼🇲🇳, Southeast Asia, central asia(former Soviet countries) and North Asia 🇷🇺. So saying which countries use chopsticks is very bad because most of the Asian countries don't use chopsticks they use hands to eat and there is stereotype like Asia means these 3 🇨🇳🇯🇵🇰🇷🤷🏻
Love from Myanmar ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Usually very cold countries use chopstick more than hot countries in Asia . Like japan, korea china, etc bcs extreme cold ❄️🥶 just like europe .
Good to know that SK julia arent on this video hahaha,she is safe..
It depends on the food. In India, we mostly use spoons, but we use our hands for chapati (flatbread).
Brilliant video 😄 all girls are so cute
The Squat is something russians do a lot too. In Germany we call this "Russen Hocke"
I'm American and I learned how to use chopsticks (self-taught) many years ago. I was hungry and one of my roommates had brought home some leftover Chinese food in a take-out container and she said I could have it but only if I used chopsticks to eat it with. Hunger is a great motivator. I hold mine in the middle, otherwise they tend to "scissor" and i end up spraying food all over. I haven't used them in many years. I wonder if I still remember how?
2:40 This the most natural way to do your business 😅
I don't remember the exact video, but in one of the meals comparisons, a girl came with a possible explanation as to why Korea uses metal chopsticks instead of wooden ones : because China's cuisine tends to use more oil, wooden chopsticks work better, whereas metal ones get slippery.
筷子起源于中国，日本和韩国受古中华文化影响才用的筷子。 至于金属筷子，在朝鲜是属于贵族和皇家使用，一般用银做的，在古代可以鉴别食物是否使用剧毒。现代韩国人使用金属筷子是因为物质条件的发达，平民百姓自然向往贵族生活使用旧社会的金属做筷子，这样象征物质生活的美好。所以在现代形成了使用金属筷子的习惯
The Most Asian? Japan,the last Asian country,next to the day/night line..
Need representative from central Asia and west asia
theses videos are the best please sent more
Japanese girl is so cute🎉❤
🇨🇳🇯🇵🇻🇳🇰🇷🍜🥢👍
Japanese comes out, speaks Korean...lol
This is filmed in South Korea, maybe she can only speaks Korean other than Japanese.
Its such a racist video i mean ofc its made in korea by a American channel(two of most racist countries) but chopsticks?? in whole asia with 48 countries only 4 use them i am reporting this video i hope other asians do same
Im reporting your whole channel
Btw how do they treat foreigners in India? ...most racist country ever
Reprted your whole chanel street po*per
ठीक है, रिपोर्ट करने की जरूरत नहीं थी।
हम भारतीय भी कम रेसिस्ट नहीं है, अमेरिकन गोरों के गोरे हैं तो कोरियन मंगोलॉइड रेस के गोरे है।
1:05 it's so funny for no reason tho 😭
the most asian use chopstick to eat is China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, maybe Vietnam.
The word “Ranking” is exactly what they need to create chaos in the comment section for this video…Guys you’re all falling for it😂
Well Christina, grabbing the peas is just a very basic level of using chopstick. The hardest challenge is playing ping pong with chopstick
Indian girl is so sweet❤❤ from Bangladesh
American ranking Asian? I mean sure they got to say who’s ‘normal’ and who’s not back in the days so sure who’s most Asian.
Please try to include Neplease girl as well❤
Title should be "who matches the most stereotypes"
I only admit that East Asia uses chopsticks under the influence of the Chinese cultural circle, excluding the whole of Asia. The title is too absolute.
chopsticks is only used by countries who are influenced by china not whole asia
Very sweet vocal of this Indian girl
2:20 There is a scientific reason behind sitting in the Asian squat position, especially for pooping. It applies pressure to your stomach, helping to expel whatever is stuck there, thus cleaning your stomach. This can potentially prevent long-term stomach issues.
When you squat, the puborectalis muscle relaxes, which straightens the rectum and makes it easier to pass stool. This position reduces the effort needed to defecate, potentially preventing issues like constipation or hemorrhoids.
The reason that American girl couldn't do the squat very well maybe because she wore tight jean...
I can't really use Korean chopstick, they're too slippery.
That’s lacist
Exaculee,no gud
Even second title is not worthy 😅
Fun Fact Bangladesh used to be part of India so they pretty much have the same culture. Even the language of Bangladesh Bengali is spoken in some parts of India.
Bangladesh never part india it's part of british
@@khelahobe1360yeah you can cry harder even though indian gave you independence from Pak
Squat is actually very good to the health and ppl who can squat long time (with practice) have no issues with knee pain and they actually have skinnier legs 😂
In eastern Indonesia squat is common for the punishment if you lost during play card, the card game we used to call kartu remi, thus if you lost you will get this punishment 😂
So sorry but chopstick its not enough to repreasent asian at all, many asian prefer used hands or spoon
Jungle azns
👀 judging eyes for Stephanie
But seriously, most people don't know how to use chopsticks properly in Indonesia 😅
I'd say it's more commonly taught in chinese descent Indonesian, but I know many people who use chopsticks like her
In Indonesia, we usually squat when in toilet, playing games (in sundanese we call ucing Gogo/cingogo), and when gossiping, when hangout with friends while smoking. Wkwk
The game of Myanmar is called Puchi in Odisha.India
I can't with the title. I'm so tired of being labelled 'less Asian' just because I don't use chopsticks to eat. The erasure of other Asians' identity and culture outside of East Asia is so real.
Is your head ok? The title of the video isn't wrong. They are all Asians. you're just salty your nationality wasn't in the video ^^
Coming up Next , Asians ranking to American Stereotypes.
Myanmar girl is so talented. Smart !!
Of course an American-oriented video is using a title like this.
bro.. she doesn't look like really Indonesian💀. I think she's Chinese/Korean but born in Indonesia. because many Chinese people live in Indonesia.
fyi, in Indonesia we don't use chopsticks for eat noodles🙄. but Chindo(Chinese Indonesian) usually use chopsticks for eat... noodles. bruhh🗣.
oh ya.. don't think all asian have the same culture like Chinese, Korean, or Japanese😮💨.
so do you think the peoples who eat bakmi and mi gacoan bring their spoons from home? they use chopstics loh
Stephanie is definitely Chinese Indonesian but for chopstick many native Indonesians like Javanese use chopstick to eat mie ayam that sold by street vendors.
In Myanmar, everyone can use chopsticks these days.
Lol the title
As a Japanese guy, the Japanese girl doesn't look Japanese; she looks Korean. Because her language is Korean, she's pretty fluent like a native speaker. But I'm not considering other cases, like growing up with Korean parents in Japan, so I'm not sure. Whatever, what I can say for sure is what she talks about is pretty accurate.
She's cute. I love japan❤
She's Korean. be careful of this channel.
For me Jenny from Vietnam look more Japanese, judging by her fashion style .
I really thought she Japanese before.
but everything became different when she started talking 😅
kinda feel bad for christina they're making her look like a race scientist lol
Asia known for the crusades and defeating the last territories of the Roman Empire.
