What is so wrong with eating...

[Wilhelm-Scream]

The korean chick I see on and off.........had a gathering at one of the local museums, and they served asian cuisine, and provided chopsticks and silverware. Everyone else was using them with ease, and I attempted at first to casually pick up my food with the sticks, and couldn't. I broke down and used the fork, and she's like, "good job, cause you were about to make a mess."

That's just because chopsticks are too Asia-centric.

Mostly because it's seen as pretentious and unnecessary in the western world.

People that find it pretentious are pretentious.

My chinese or my Japanese food with chopsticks?!


I'm so sick of people talking to me like I'm ******ed for doing it at home.

So you're at home, eating food with chopsticks and random people are criticizing you? Maybe you should look into closing your door, or not inviting people inside who seem to have serious issues with your choice of utinsels?

I don't like people who use chopsticks because I could never figure out how to work them and seeing other people use them so easily makes me feel dumb.

Exactly, Doubly in Error to the Max Beyond Belief Like Crazy

As long as the food goes into the mouth I don't really give a damn what people use to eat. It's food.

So if you took a chick to a Greek restaurant on a date and she reached into the bowl of Hummus with her hands and started scooping it into her mouth, it wouldn't create any particular reaction in you?

 

[CieloAzul]

Hopefully it'll be, "wow that's hot."
If not, I'll be alone for a long long time.

I live at home, it was my parents, and I was in the kitchen getting my food.

You're black; you're not Asian.

What don't you understand?

 

[oakzap425]

What does being black have to do with using chopsticks?

That's the equivalent of saying to a white person "you white, you're not black, stop listening to rap music."

Don't worry about it oakzap. I enjoy using chopsticks, too.

No need to be blunt. We'll teach you how to use chop-sticks, then everything will be alright.

I know what you mean. Maybe she's pretending to be asian? I've heard of some cases like that.

 

[oakzap425]

Are you pretending to be smart? Because I see that a lot in this forum.

 

[Ghostvirus]

I have eaten American food with chopsticks. Anyone wanna do something about it.

You and I would be in the same boat.

Right when you have the chopsticks in your mouth. Go Genma on them

Oh btw, I use the plastic forks that comes with it when I eat Asian food.

I read this thread yesterday, and then saw some friends inside a Chinese restaurant downtown as I was going home. I joined them, and we all ate Chinese food with chopsticks. I'd expect nothing less of them; they're anime freaks. I told them about this thread, especially the 'pretentious' thing, and they laughed.
