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

    I would LOVE the house slipper bit. I’ve suggested it so many times. Wife and kids just won’t go for it. Wife says it’s rude to ask a guest to take off their shoes. I disagree but she just can’t see my point or view. If you want to enter my house, show respect and take off your shoes to keep my house clean.

      I just don’t get it lol. Whenever I enter someone’s house for the first time I ask “would you like me to take my shoes off?”.

      It’s not that hard, and especially obvious if they have light colored carpet
