About that stupid article about keeping your shoes on in someone's shoes-off home, that has now got half of Twitter talking like this is a universal, monolithic "white people thing": yeah, not really. I grew up with shoes off at home. (No broken toes.)Permalink On twitter.com

And yeah, of course you $@&%ing take your shoes off at the door if someone asks you to. Who refuses, let alone lectures them, when they're in the position of being a guest in that person's home? That's just barbaric.Permalink On twitter.com

It was specifically to help keep the house cleaner, and it did. The floors were vacuumed and mopped, but this meant it didn't have to be every damn day. With the amount of snow we got, nobody really wanted to wear their winter boots into the house most of the year anyway.Permalink On twitter.com

I vaguely remember some Japanese-American character on TV (Arnold on Happy Days?) asking confused white characters to remove their shoes at his door, as a gag. It baffled me. ("Wait, people actually wear outdoors shoes inside their houses? Why? How? But...")Permalink On twitter.com

Anyway, that's the funny thing I noticed in that article: she seems to think culture needs to be "foreign" in order to be valid. She's saying, "If you're brown or yellow or something, fine, but the only valid white 'culture' is mine." (Hogwash!)On twitter.com
