There's a tendency that only white ppl do that because 99 times out of 100 i' d see that being done by a white.
Totally not being racist but just wanted to know how this habit came to....
Personally i wash my dishes by hand, scrub clean, washing up liquid, rinse leave to dry....
But i have seen in commercials and in ppls houses but often dont ask because it might offend them....they'd simply scrub off the food soak in soapy water and leave it to dry with foam still on the plates.....
Personally i thinki its unhygienic to wash it like that....Better to rinse them off......

It is not hygienic to clean dishes that way. Dishes need to be scraped, prerinsed, washed, rinsed and left to air dry. As for what you said being racist, I think it is odd how many people think when someone states a fact about people it is a racist statement. It is not a racist comment, it is a fact only. I've only known one family that washed their dishes and did not rinse them and guess what? They were not only white, but blonde too. Egads, you know what I just noticed, I'm white, eeek!!

I usually find that theres not many people who do their washing up manually now(in a bowl,in the sink).I used to have a dishwasher,but never replaced it when it wouldnt work anymore.I usually let washing up soak in hot soapy water,then when its cooled down a bit i use 1 off those sponges with a 'scrubby' on 1 side.Wash the plates etc then put to drain.Then just pour over some fresh clean hot water,this rinses excess bubbles+helps dry quicker.

I've never seen that..and I'm white. I would think the soap film would still be on the plates and affect the taste of the food after wards.
As for commercials, I would think it was just them saving time by not showing the rinsing?

it's a matter of preferences, my parents rinse the delft particularly my father. i do rinse any drinking vessels so there is no after taste of washing up. plus i wash in order i.e. cups, plates, cutlery etc. wash pots and pans separately.
in fairness washing up liquid is hardly poisonous. so why bother rinsing, could be the answer you are looking for.
my brother in-law is colour he doesn't rinse either, now he worry he going to change into michael jackson and turn white.
I'm investing in a dishwasher eventually which by far is the most hygienic way of washing.

I wash my dishes with an antibacterial detergent, the idea of this is that you wash your dishes in a weak solution of it, you don't rinse it off because it's antibacterial action keeps working in the cupboards. I don't ever dry my dishes because T-Towels are an absolute breeding ground for germs and bacteria, including salmonella, e-coli and listeria. Not to mention the fact that the water in them turns stagnant very quickly!
I only know one white person, (but several Asians) who wash their dishes like you do. So perhaps it is a regional thing.

Well, I think that's a matter of personal preference. I am white and have never done that or seen it done by any of my family or friends - and my friends come in all colors! :-) Is this done in a particular part of the country? I would agree that leaving soap on the dishes can't be good for you.

I don't know what you're talking about. That statement really is racist. I use an automatic dishwasher as everyone I know does. Maybe some people prewash their dishes. Unnecessary with dishwasher. I just rinse mine and use a brush to get solids off. Then load the dishwasher. I am a white woman and have never seen anyone do that. I don't know about black people, since I don't know any.

You should try using a tea towl to dry them up. leaving em on the side is unhygienic anyway.
