Does posture depend on ethnicity?!


Question: Does posture depend on ethnicity.?
This might seem a bit nasty question - but it is important, as I am studying behavioral characteristics across nationalities. In my opinion most western people - including whites and south americans, while taking a dump, sit with their legs down- like sitting on a chair. Middle easterns and Asians on the other hand, have a tendency to sit with folded knees while taking dump. Can anyone comment, why.? Why does the sitting posture for this act in our daily life, vary with different countries.? Health Question & Answer

It might have something to do with the possibility that toilet facilities are designed a little differently in different parts of the world. This is just a wild guess, but it seems to make sense to me.Health Question & Answer

What do you mean by folded knees.? They kneel on the toilet seat.?

It's probably just a matter of how certain cultures are brought up.Health Question & Answer
