[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone offended by this request isn’t someone I would want to be friends with. Besides, most people know this is the norm for Asian families. I am an uncouth Midwesterner who hosts a lot, and find that 90% of people ask whether they should take their shoes off as they come in.[/quote] I am a white person with Asian friends and even Asian-American family. I usually ask at the door when I am a guest. There are usually obvious cues at the door area. I find other white families follow shoes off practices, just as I do at home. We do not follow this rule, 100%. I break it for guests - momentary visits, my mom who has foot pain and needs arch supports, etc. It wouldn't be seen as weird to ask but you should mention it in an invite. And don't be judgy if someone needs to keep their shoes on. Or rent a party room as suggested. [/quote]
