That there might probably the difference in the shoes on vs shoes off culture.

People who think it’s disrespectful to treat someone’s home as less important or people who think it’s disrespectful to treat the guest as less important.

To me someone’s home takes priority over the guest, as it’s just what I was raised by. A house is someone’s home and extremely important to them, whereas a guest is not required to be there it’s a privilege to be invited inside and not having shoes really isn’t a big deal to ask for us.
