[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has nothing to do with color or ethnicity and everything to do with making a small effort to adapt to the culture of the country you have chosen to live in. I mean, the shoe thing-is it really that big of a deal one way or another? You are free in this country to worship Buddha, Kali, Moses or whatever. Isn't that part of the reason you are here? Please don't say no, it's because I can make more money in the US than in my home country because that's all the more reason you should make some small attempt to educate yourself about American customs. I would never go to India and eat out of a bowl with my left hand even if I do it all the time here-why? Because, I would have the courtesy to educate myself in what is proper behavior in my host country and make a good faith attempt to honor my hosts.[/quote]

Another poster who could use a history course. The US is a country of immigrants, and US culture(s) reflect that. India, OTOH, is not a nation whose culture developed out of recent immigrant history.[/quote]
