What is so wrong with eating...

[terry78]

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.

Eh, those types always make sure they do anything remotely asian-related the "right" way.

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

**** yeah...

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

lamer.

Yum, just ate grits with mushrooms...shrimp....and crawfish in it...

...And to think, I put you in my sig. *****.

 

[terry78]

You know I like to be confrontational. I'd be boring if I wasn't.

 

[oakzap425]

...my ass.

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

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

I hate to say this but i have to agree with these guys. Especially if your black.....you weren't raised with chopsticks, you were rasied eating with silverware..why deviate from that? i guess they want to fit in with thier asian friends or be different then us chumps who eat with silverware.


I mean if your going to start eating with chopsticks then go all out and eat everythinmg with chopsticks. pizza,burgers,hot dogs,chicken,lasanga,etc. why stop with chinese food?!

agreed,non asian-american anime lovers are the worst. i swear just because they watch anime, they feel the need to assimilate to asain culture.

they have some inferiorty complex of some sort.

Is this to be taken seriously?

No, in fact, feel free to summarily ignore anything you may read, hear or see in the text box by his name.

And I like using chopsticks when eating the appropriate cuisine. I'd like to preserve as much of the culture as possible for my daughter, who is Chinese. I did find that the rather simplistic way of holding them that we are taught isn't exactly the same way that they are held over there. They have a much more comfortable and stable way of manipulating them, but hey, they grew up with them.

This thread is wrong.

 

[Ghostvirus]

So does this mean that if an Asian uses silverware, they are pretentious?

 

[Dangerous]

No it means this thread is so wrong because- there is nothing wrong with eating.

The question is poses is built of a prefix which is untrue.

That makes so little sense, it's almost funny. Not even Asian people who use chopsticks all the time use chopsticks to eat any of the things you just said, with the exception of chicken, depending on how it's prepared.

 

[ScottyBBadd]

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.

If you can do it more power to you.

It means they are intelligent for eating in a easy way.

 

[Eggyman]

I'm having Chinese soon. I'll use a fork

But I don't think there's anything wrong with chopsticks -- I use em sometimes, just depends what mood I'm in

thats the point. why use chopsticks just to eat chinese food with it(especially if you're an american) might as well expand your horizons.

in other words pretentious,gotcha.

 

[knowsbleed]

GAH...you're being laughed at by everyone in this thread. FYI.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Nothing new there.

 

[oakzap425]

But if you go to a Japanese restuarant, they don't offer silverware, they offer chopsticks... so, how is it, that I'm pretentious because I do it. It seems from some of the posts I've read in here, it has more to do with me being Black then anything else, which is ridiculous.`

 

[knowsbleed]

Hell, I'm Asian and I use chopsticks sometimes...how pretentious of me.

Tsk tsk. Hey dudey
