Re: chopsticks, fried rice, white people
when i order delivery chinese, i just use a fork because im shoveling it into my mouth.
when i go to a nice restaurant, i use chopsticks, because i'm not in a rush and its part of the experience for me.

Re: chopsticks, fried rice, white people
I used to go to this place in NYC's chinatown that had mostly chinese people eating at it. When me and my ex-g/f would go in the waitress would come over and give us a dirty look and say "you want fork?" and when we said no, she would smile and be all nice to us.
This doesn't relate to your question, but I wanted to share since I'm bored

I then hand it to her and eat with chopsticks while she uses a fork.

Re: chopsticks, fried rice, white people
This has happened to me a bunch, and I don't really mind it.
I'm reasonably proficient with chopsticks, so I don't ask for a fork when I'm given chopsticks. But I def prefer a fork and I'm happy when I'm given them.

Re: chopsticks, fried rice, white people
I'm not bad with chopsticks, was taught from an early age, and I can eat rice with them but sometimes for rice a fork is just easier I think. I wouldnt choose to eat any other chinese food with a fork but rice is 50/50 for me. I think the easy of using chopsticks also depends on the quality of the fried rice.

Re: chopsticks, fried rice, white people
i couldn't help but notice your avatar op and if you are super white like the avatar suggests (lol socks and sandals), you're gonna be given a fork 10 times out of 10.
using chopsticks for eating fried rice is fine as long as you scoop a portion and eat from a small bowl. it is common among asians to eat it in a manner in which you bring the bowl to your mouth and shovel the rice with the chopsticks. eating fried rice from a plate w/ chopsticks would just be impractical; you are not gonna be able lift much food with them. if you are going to eat from a plate, i actually suggest a table spoon. imo forks are only slightly worse than chopsticks in being able to efficiently bring food to your mouth. but yeah, don't be offended if you are offered forks or treated as a "white" customer. immigrant non-english speaking asians base a lot of their cross-cultural interactions on stereotypes, as they don't know any better. i hope this helps.
