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’m American and I don’t think anyone in my social circle would blow their nose at the dinner table. Yours might just be gross.

      What do you think you’re supposed to do after rating spicy buffalo wings that make your nose run?

      Sure there’s some settings where you don’t do it (or do it quietly). Many restaurants are also loud enough that you won’t even hear it unless you’re listening to it.

      Or, you’re an American who lives in a country/continent where there are a wide variety of people outside of your little bubble who have different backgrounds and different cultural norms that you’ve very likely never considered.

      See, I can be demeaning too!
