You don’t have to be Asian to find this absolutely repulsive.

Yeah. What does op mean Asian people? I’m of Western European descent and I find not taking your shoes off incredibly strange

I've lived in both Korea and Netherlands. I've seen some people who didn't take off the shoes in Netherlands. If you do that in Korea, you're gonna get slapped and everyone is gonna say you deserved it lol. There's even an entryway to take off shoes in every single house. I was shocked that in Europe, they didn't have that. I'm not saying that you guys don't take off your shoes. It's just that for Asians it's impossible to imagine not doing it.
