<human>: So this is kind of a weird situation...but here we go. I have seven roommates, and we are all fairly friendly. We hang out and get dinner etc, and it's overall a good time. However, all seven of them are white, while I am South Asian. I was born and raised in the US and am 100% American, but there are some differences in culture as I was raised quite traditionally. One gesture that is considered of great offense in my culture is putting your feet on something (ex. a book, laptop), and definitely not on a person. My roommates have started doing this thing where they tap me with their feet to get my attention if we are sitting down, or repeatedly put their feet in my lap or on me. I have told them that this bothers me, and asked them to stop, but they think it is funny and keep repeating the behavior. I hesitate to bring up the fact that it is offensive to my culture because I already catch a lot of flack for being "different" and having a very Indian identity. How do I get them to stop doing this, as literally telling them not to hasn't worked?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Asked roommates to stop putting their feet on me, but they aren't and it really just grosses me out tbh.
