Has anyone else seen what generally seems like white people concern-trolling all sorts of things when it comes to poverty?

There was someone the other day saying that it was an upper class thing to do to take off shoes when going into the house in certain cultures when the tradition of taking off shoes is fairly old in the cultures that it exists in.

This came up in the context of the VP of #Iran not taking off his shoes when he went to visit an earthquake victim inside a tent.
