Raised to be extra-conscientious? I’m sorry, but Asians are some of the least socially conscientious people I have ever encountered.

I concur with White Dave completely. Except I am Chinese and am neither wealthy nor shuffle my feet, but I guess I am an anomaly.

I live in Toronto and I’ve also noticed the Asian foot drag, and your very right when you say that its mainly people from ‘Northern Asia’ that drag their feet. I go to U of T, and the majority of Asian students are wealthy Chinese and Korean. Whether walking in groups or by themselves the Asian foot drag is an ever present phenomenon around campus.

You know what: that’s also very true. I live in a building with all hardwood floors and I can hear all of my (White) neighbors stomping around constantly–especially my Australian upstairs neighbor. It sounds like someone’s practicing marching drills up there.

Although I do have to add that dragging your feet with the wrong kind of shoes (like hard-sole platforms or those big-ass foam slippers) can also be quite loud, especially outside.

Being half Chinese, half “white”, I never noticed this until I noticed how most “white” people STOMP down very loudly on their heels when walking through a house (without shoes). Perhaps, consciously or not, Asian people, being so used to living in close quarters with others, or simply raised to be extra conscientious, make the effort not to disturb others. The “sliding” motion I make when walking indoors with socks on seems similar to what many Asians are doing when they drag their feet outside. Honestly, I wish MORE people would drag their feet if it meant that they would be less noisy indoors! (On a whole other topic, what’s with people wearing their outdoor shoes INSIDE their homes?? DISGUSTING!!!!!)
