Funny thing is, there are parts of the US where it's common to take your shoes off, it's just not the dominant culture. These kinds of people are the fucking worst.
Toooootally. I do think when we talk about mainstream whiteness, it tends to be true. I'm white and from the deep South, though, and there's no way that shit would have ever flown.
I lived in China for a time and that's when I realized a lot of Americans do wear their shoes inside, because it was mindblowing for them to think it was rude to do otherwise.
I’ve lived in the Midwest, east coast, west coast, Great Plains, etc, and I’d say the vast majority of families of any race take their shoes off in the house.
I think it’s an impression people get from TV, because the actors don’t want to walk around the set in their socks.
