I am from an entirely anglo-saxon family. My parents made me learn how to use chopsticks at an early age though, so as to be able to travel and be spared the embarrassment of asking for a fork at restaurants.
It was only when I went to college that I realized that hardly anyone else knew how they were used. Maybe it was just a result of where I went, but I got the impression from people around me that this wasn't a common skill, which surprised me.
Anyway, this seems like the most related board to post this on. Is this really something that most white people can't do?

"skill"
Jose Ramirez
I grew up in norcal and nevada and I would say MOST people can use them but I no brit fags can't use them at all
too bad for them as they are the most superior eating utensil
Matthew White
it's trained so if they are patient they can learn it it's not racial so stop using "white people" as an excuse
Connor Cox
I can't use them very well, but I can at least pick up dumplings at a Yum Cha
Brayden Torres
I was never taught how to use them. I learned on the job so to speak. It is not that hard really.
Evan Allen
>they are the most superior eating utensil No.
Benjamin Brooks
I've never used them don't count me
Jaxson Anderson
spork is the best
Tyler Stewart
Good for noodles and thats it.

Literally the most retarded thing I've learned. I went to Asia, and they had forks everywhere. I didn't even have to ask.
Noah Wood
Obviously, the tools less decent than forks and knives coming up with typical East Asian mind. Ugly humanity always sticks to ugly ways of living with tenacity.

I learned how to use chopsticks in 5 minutes, is it really something that has to be taught?
Michael Cruz
takes practice to do it well
Gavin Morris
takes skill to use chopsticks to pick up peas
Chase Peterson
It's intuitive as heck, the only problem I have with them is that my hand hurts after using them because I almost never use them.
Peas? I had a bit of trouble with heavy things but peas were easy.
Liam Allen
I can use chopsticks with right and left hands.
Gavin Perry
You are an ambidextrous person then
Matthew Adams
>2017 >""""""""""""""""""""people""""""""""""""""""""" still eat with fucking sticks
Jaxson Phillips
Spork a shit. The spoon is not functional enough, and the meme cutting saw on the side on the fork doesn't cut a thing. I just carry a proper spoon and a fork when hiking.
Adam White
i find heavy things easy and peas to be hard :/
Josiah Jones
I find heavy things hard because the chopsticks slip if you apply too much pressure.
Kayden Wright
I don't see why people don't use chopsticks more often. It keeps your fingers clean while eating popcorn, salted nuts, and potato chips.
Isaiah Allen
good, I've never been to Asia but f chopsticks
Asher Gonzalez
Chopsticks are way more spiritual. Mastering chopsticks opens your mind
Adrian Adams
>Is this really something that most white people can't do? If they've never used then, I guess. Shouldn't take more than a few meals to get used to it.
Jackson Morales
I'm a master of chopsticks. My parents always took me to Asian restaurants and my dad could use them and I wanted to be like him, so I learnt. Pretty easy that. I've met a lot of Asians who can't use them.
Ryan Anderson
Forks are much better desu.
Joshua Reed
try this to impress your dad

I went to lunch with some GNU fans, and was sitting down to eat some tteokpaekki, when a waitress set down six chopsticks right in front of me. It occurred to me that perhaps these were meant for three people, but it was more amusing to imagine that I was supposed to use all six. I did not know any way to do that, so I realized that if I could come up with a way, it would be a hack. I started thinking. After a few seconds I had an idea.
First I used my left hand to put three chopsticks into my right hand. That was not so hard, though I had to figure out where to put them so that I could control them individually. Then I used my right hand to put the other three chopsticks into my left hand. That was hard, since I had to keep the three chopsticks already in my right hand from falling out. After a couple of tries I got it done.
Then I had to figure out how to use the six chopsticks. That was harder. I did not manage well with the left hand, but I succeeded in manipulating all three in the right hand. After a couple of minutes of practice and adjustment, I managed to pick up a piece of food using three sticks converging on it from three different directions, and put it in my mouth.
John Powell
Half azn 2bh. I hold them in my own way though. The action is similar to the way scissor blades move.
Julian Gomez
He would wet himself.
Thomas Lopez
I used chopsticks for the first time in my life when I was in asia a couple of weeks ago
Tyler Edwards
I saw my cousin using them once when I was visiting and I joked if he is Chinese now. That is my full interaction with sticks.
Isaiah Russell
I still don't understand how I'm supposed to use chopsticks to eat rice of all things. Rice mostly sticks together, yes, but you're always left with a plate full of small rice bits in the end.
Gavin Myers
I was chopsticks user champion in kindergarten I can move 2 beans plate to plate per one second
Jonathan Cruz
only poor people don't know how to use them here
Grayson Parker
1. it is a utensil used by a significant part of the world, I would say it is essential for a civilized man to know how to use it in our modern globalized world 2. it takes literally a minute to learn it unless you have the motor skills of a retard
John Perez
That's hardly an achievement.
Adrian Torres
chopsticks are more than an eating utensil, they are a manifest rejection of western imperialism in asia
Zachary Martin
I saw girls using it. One at some kind of ramen soup and the other ate rice. Had to check if I was awake.
Tyler Scott
These days most Aussies can use chopsticks твн
Andrew Hill
This is why I ordered a couple pair. Wood for around the house, steel for /out/. never eating tendies with my bare fingers again.
Jonathan Torres
White guy here. I can use them better than either of my parents; dad can use them decently, mom couldn't pick up food with them if her life depended on it.
The university I went to had a significant number of Asian students. A Chinese student once observed me for a couple minutes while I was eating Chinese food on campus and complimented me on how well I use them. Got to brag to my friends about my Chinese-tier chopstick skills all day.
Hunter Mitchell
Literal babbies can use chopsticks these days.
Lincoln Clark
this,
popcorn is easier to eat with a spoon though
Connor Jones
Never used them.
Thomas Nguyen
>tfw asian >tfw never learned how to properly hold chopsticks I blame my mom. She never learned how to use chopsticks and as a child I followed her retarded ways.
Jace Wood
I use them just fine but entirely self taught so I'm probably holding them wrong
Aaron Hill
>mom proxy off yank
Levi Flores
Why would i try to use sticks when i'm eating? What is the point of this "skill"?
Blake Parker
What are you doing in a shithole country?
Josiah Torres
That lacist moment when as soon as you order in a gook pho shop they bring out the only whiteboy fork. >Then I pick the quail egg up from the soup with the chinkstix
Henry Peterson
In big cities most people can use chopsticks. There's a shitload of chinese, vietnamese, japanese restaurants. I almost never see anyone use fork in a chinese restaurant.
Julian Sullivan
It really only takes a while to learn. I once decided to try and after one visit to the local chinese restaurant, I could do it.
It's entirely possible that people are just retarded and incapable, but I think they're just lazy.
Leo Miller
more like most urban places in many asian cunts also use forks
actually for some meals there are only non-chopstick utensils
Aaron Long
>be spared the embarrassment of asking for a fork at restaurants.
Lol, you're not white. A real white man is imperialist. So we don't give a shit about others. We go the restaurants and we demand a fucking fork and we eat with pride while others watch our manly behabior
Brandon Bell
My little idiot sister use this shit. She watches Youtuber idiots and aspires. I prefer naked hands.
Asher Johnson
asians are retarded for developing pieces of thin wood for eating instead of actual utensils like the rest of the world
but to be fair its really easy to learn how to use them that hurts worst goryeo
John White
Tell me about your sweet little turkish chopstick sister
Joshua Lee
I can use them somewhat effectively, but I hardly ever do it because every Asian restaurant I've gone to has been sensible enough to bring regular utensils without being asked.
