isn't bowing a sign of respect in many asian cultures? if she did this in a sarcastic way after you like honked at her and she was obviously pissed, then thats racist. i dont think this is racist though.

Context is a ton, though. In America, meeting random Asians, there is no reason to think that they are culturally Asian as opposed to American. This is (at least to my mind) sort of the point of this entire thread; there's no reason to think that this would be a culturally appropriate response and so nobody interprets it that way.
