i think it's part of their women's etiquette. close your legs all the time, walk in small steps, pigeon-toed etc. you know... the Japanese are mainly the ones known to walk this way, i think. not so much the other Asian women. i've seen them mostly in the older j@p women.

Just in case u haven't noticed j@p has been censored because it's a racialist word

Or think of it as an excuse for lazy white people who couldn't think of a more creative slur.

Bow legs look like the knees are touching but your calves are not. And I think they are also called Knock Knees.
Here's an example:
Some people made rude comments about them-

I think I read somewhere alot of Japanese women have bow legs because of some kind of chair that they sit on alot? I forgot what it was called but whatever I read said that since they sat on that so much it caused a slight curvature of the legs. Actually I think it might have said that Japanese women at one time preffered to be bow legged. Not really sure how authentic this is but this topic just brought it to mind.
