For example, I’m a white Jewish guy but I’ve adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

    Or, you’re an American who lives in a country/continent where there are a wide variety of people outside of your little bubble who have different backgrounds and different cultural norms that you’ve very likely never considered.

    See, I can be demeaning too!

      Good thing you explained what you were going for because it was kind of hard to follow.

      You made an assertion about all americans:

      like (as an American) we’ll just do this

      and someone wished to dispute it based on their own experience.

      You described a behaviour as gross and indicate that it is common in your social circles. How is it demeaning to says that your social circles are gross? @htrayl is agreeing with you
