If you've invited a lib into your apartment, it's entirely on you. Don't be surprised if they start colonizing your apartment and call it "Aid" or "Democracy" or something.
They worship their own property. The property of non-white people is being misused or underutilized, and therefore it is their right and responsibility to take control of it.
This is the stupidest take on hospitality I've ever seen. This person needs to be beaten over the head with a copy of Derrida's "On Hospitality" until they become unconscious or learn something, whichever happens first.
Please don't ask people to not shit on your floor when entering your apartment. It's rude.
When you invite people into your home, you need to let go. You can't be like, "You can't piss there" and "You have to stop shitting everywhere" and "If you jerk off in my living room, you are in trouble." Hosting is letting your guests enjoy themselves.
People of colonial complexion apparently have a different definition of what is "rude". In any Latin American country I know, for example, "rude" is doing whatever you want in other people's homes. What to expect from a culture that normalizes staying in bed with shoes on. And if you're supposed to act like you're at home wherever you are, why leave your house?
Well you see, the cumskins are correct, which is why they had to go all over the planet to tell brown people how wrong and barbaric their version of hospitality is. If white people's customs aren't objectively correct, how come all the other cultures are inferior?
To be real I thought the expectation was always "someone else's house, their rules" and this article is alarming. Despite being in I was raised to obey the rules of whoever's house I am at, it is their space.
What else to expect from settler ''culture''. For them it's about doing whatever they want at someone else's house and expense. Like huf said, at least it's consistent.
I love to make people feel comfortable in my home and I feel like taking off shoes helps with that because it makes a visit much more personal and homely for the guest. Shoes off is so much more comfortable, I don’t understand why anyone would want to keep their shoes on in someones home.
I live in a place where it’s abnormal to remove your shoes as guest but no one has ever complained.
The first thing I do for guests is hand them a pair of slippers. Sometimes they decline, sometimes they don't. But that is my way of saying "shoes off" even if it's customary in Poland.
I'm sure this Romilly Newman is 26 years old just like Wikipedia says, but if this article is anything to go off of, then she
Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Going into someones house with shoes on would very much be considered so rude where I live.
I mean in winter shoes are covered in snow, in spring and autumn they are often wet. Or just otherwise dirty. Why would anyone do that to someones home?
My work puts me in peoples homes and the first thing I do is take off my shoes, because of course I do.
I used to have a AmeriKKKan partner for a while and the dude lived his life with shoes on. Like put them on getting out of bed. Even had them on lying down often. Seemed so uncomfy to me, but I suppose if the insides of houses are treated the same as the outside, you would want shoes on because the floor must be dirty all the time.

Inexplicably, Romilly Newman is the sister of Griffin Newman who plays Watto on the George Lucas Talk Show, and if that isn't the perfect dichotomy of rich kids I don't know what is- one is a soulless capitalist scold and the other spent 12k of dad's money on improv classes
It's a guide/advice into hosting our attending parties, here are the first three:
Rebecca Gardner event planner, interior designer
When you accept an invitation, you have an obligation to bring something. You can be the most beautiful person at the party who brings glamour. You can be the person who brings an expensive wine. Or you can bring a sprinkle — which means you sprinkle joy or wit or personality to a party. You have to bring something.
Sarah Harrelson editor in chief of Cultured magazine
If you’re going to go, go. Do not plan to leave the party early. If you have to leave early, I say do not come. And don’t ask who else is coming. That is rude.
Alex Hitz chef, author
Bring a sense of humor. Bring positive energy. That anecdote of yours? Cut it by 98 percent, practice it in front of the mirror, and in six months you can bring it to the party.
People who bring stuff because they feel obligated being cheap shit or expensive crap. Thought comes from, well, thinking. People sometimes just want to share their company even under irregular circumstances, even with time limits. Practicing adjectives to come across as funny sounds pitiful as hell. What's with these morons?
I'd like to visit the author just once, after trudging through a pile of dogshit and then have a few glasses of red wine with them that my butterfingers just can't seem to grasp properly
I do where my shoes in the apartment sometimes, but it's only when I'm doing chores and running up and down the stairs. People that just keep em on regardless, it's a bit weird unless the foot odor is that bad, which is rough to be sure.
