interracial handshake

The awkward moment when one person attempts to shake hands when the other person offers a high five or fist bump instead.

I'm sorry for the interracial handshake, let's try that again.

interracial handshake

A combination of both the tradition white man hand shake and the African American handshake. A traditional handshake begins, immediately leading into an interlocking of thumbs, then the pullback to the fingertip handshake. The one armed hug can be performed while the fingertip handshake portion occurs.

Two acquaintances approach one another and performed the interracial handshake.
