I thought Asians were the ones who regularly removed shoes upon entering the house. I've always had to ask my Y-T friends to take off their shoes in the house.
It turns out my (caucasian) bf also has to take off his shoes upon entering his parents house. He says it's not only an Asian thing- he's from the midwest and the homes he's visited do the same thing.
Is it a regional thing?
Do you take off your shoes before entering your house?
