World map of tradition of removing shoes in home. Green: shoes removed; Blue: shoes not removed.

If you don’t remove your shoes in my house I’ll remove them for you with your feet as collateral damage.

Green=sensible countries, blue=crazy countries

My Finnish partner before his family arrived: They will ask where to put their shoes.

Me: But we don’t have anywhere… Can they keep them on their feet?

The thing about not removing your shoes at home in southern Europe and specifically Italy is because our houses have tiles in every room instead of carpet (which btw is unhygienic as hell) and hardwood floors. So while floor washing is a daily activity for us, the same can’t be said for those who have carpet/wooden panels.

As for actually taking off your shoes at home, yes we (Italians) do remove them. It’s not a traditional thing to do stricto sensu, but it’s common. I mean, who wants to keep their shoes on all day? Especially after a long day at school or work. Though we don’t have a different pair of shoes; we either go barefoot, wear socks, slippers or flip-flops.

I hate wearing shoes inside and my parents are always like ‘put on shoes!!’

hello im french and if you dont remove your shoes after entering my house you’ll be asked to GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE

[T]he stereotype that African Americans are excessively fond of watermelon emerged for a specific historical reason and served a specific political purpose. The trope came into full force when slaves won their emancipation during the Civil War. Free black people grew, ate, and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom. Southern whites, threatened by blacks’ newfound freedom, responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people’s perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness, and unwanted public presence. This racist trope then exploded in American popular culture, becoming so pervasive that its historical origin became obscure. Few Americans in 1900 would’ve guessed the stereotype was less than half a century old.
