chopsticks, fried rice, white people

[DonkeyKongSr]

I had the same experience as tdarko. Went to a Thai place, got no chopsticks and had to ask for them. Then, just last night on some TV show or something they mentioned that chopsticks aren't standard for Thai. Weird since several other Thai places I have been to have given them to me without asking.

FWIW, I'm a white guy in Southern California and get chopsticks automatically most of the time at Asian restaurants. I think the sushi craze and Asian culture here makes chopstick use a normal skill for white people.
