from east to west

most, but not all, ethnically slavic people are able to slav squat.

most balkan people are also able to

any slavic and balkan people who can't slav squat are ashamed at the fact

the ethnicity with the highest ability to slav squat seems to be ashkenazi jews, with many responding and only 1 or 2 being unable to

people are confusing the slav squat with the asian squat - afaik, the slav squat has a wider stance, with your knees pointed outwards. the asian squat is narrower stance, with your knees tucked under your chin

nevertheless, most east and southeast asian people seem to be able to do both, and were astonished that other people find it hard

most americans don't seem to know what an ethnicity is, with lots of them just responding 'american' or 'white' (one of those is a nationality, the other is a race)

most european americans cannot slav squat, but those who could almost universally answered that they are largely ethnically slavic

the numbers were around 50% for native american respondees, though lots of european americans seemed to claim they have native friends who can

a lot more people in the world have ehlers danlos syndrome (hEDS) than I would have imagined (I have it too)

a lot of people in the notes claimed that the ability to slav squat came from flexibility in childhood, which is an interesting theory. however, I have serious issues with the external rotator cuff on my hip, and I can still do it easily

very few southern europeans or arabs answered, so numbers still inconclusive there

south americans (people with mixed indigenous and iberian heritage) seem to be able to do it more often than not

the numbers are around 50% for ethnically british and irish people
