Look for a local charity vid from southeast Asia. Local people who make these huge portions of food for the impoverished are usually scooping the rice and curry with their hands. Normal people will see this and say "hell yeah glad they're supporting each other" while a racist would call it dirty and make a white savior bit out of it.
Ya but I also think it's ok to react to foreign cultures in a variety of ways. There isn't one way we have to be all the time. If someone is grossed out by something they've never seen before then they aren't automatically a bigot or racist.
If someone scooped up my rice with their hands I'd not want the rice. We use utensils for serving things and I'm sure other cultures have a variety of opinions about that. I'm sure I'd get used to it if I moved somewhere where it was normal.
They say that like they don't prep food with their hands

My mother in law was almost crying with joy when I (a white guy) was eating her dinner with my hands for the first time. I was just confused at what the fuss was. Remember we all live in our bubbles.
I'm happy to hear that's the case for you, unfortunately my relatives are pretty terrible and seem to look for any opportunity to be shitty
You haven’t met my greatest generation grandparents then
Or, you know, sandwiches
pizza, sandwich, burger, hot dog, corn dog, fries, rolls (and basically any bread-like thing), buffalo wings, chicken nuggets / tenders, fish sticks, most fruit, any veggies that can be eaten raw, most quick snacks, and so much more.

Fun fact: Italian "well mannered" people are expected to eat pizza with fork and knife, exactly because eating with hands is considered gross by "eating etiquette experts" (I have no idea how to call people judging other people own businesses)
In practice, you guys are eating pizza like poor people, what a shame!! /s
Fun fact: no italian has ever ate pizza with a fork and knife. The only time when these 3 things should be togheter is when cutting the pizza (surprisingly, pizza cutters are fairly uncommon ).
If you see an "italian" eating pizza with a fork, they arent italian, they are sicilian
i eat pizza with a fork and knife
Yes officer this comment right here.

Found the heretic.
You looked good in today's mugshot, mr Trump
Why are people in others fucking business. Just let people eat with whatever they want. Its not affecting you in any fucking way.
With that being said, I think indians are eww for other reasons.
amazing. true open minded educated racism.
/s ←←← look!!!
I dont think it is racism to call up bad habits from countries. From my experience, the country of India has very bad habits in regards to hygene. I am talking about keeping streets clean and preparing street food with hygene. Other countries have bad habits too. For example americans are crazy about their guns and their education is underwhelming. It is not racist to call for those things imo.
I am a person of color myself, and Im pretty sure that my country of origin has also a lot of bad habits. I have had a couple of friends from India and their homes have not been the cleaniest, but I still loved to hang out with them.
Absolutely, what's wrong in my book is relating that directly with the Indian people. Systemic issues such as waste disposal or irregular access to clean water are real, but that's not "indians being eww". In fact India is where I learned to clean my butt with water ! and never, ever eat with my left hand 😁
You probably use your hand to wipe your ass as well. Civilized people use a bidet. Like the french or smth, I don't know I never used one.
I have someone spit on my butthole
Based
Nice comment

In the UK squat toilets still get called French-style despite not beong found in France for generations.

Bidets are awesome
Indians use bidets (not all of them, but water is the common method)
Hand washing your ass with water is much cleaner than those who only use toilet paper and call it a day

I'm french, never seen a bidet except in foreign hotels.
Eating with your hands is awesome
Hands is the only way to eat
I don't understand, that's a bowl of chocolate sauce on an airplane?
Eating your hands is not awesome.
Eating other people's hands though? You know when you crave hands?

I feel like it's diff when it's literally a dry part of the food item meant to be grabbed like that and most ppl would still use napkins and shit.
Kinda funny how people switched to eating fries (for Brits: chips) with forks to eating them with hands. Why doesn't anybody talk about this?
Chips used to go as a side on a plated meal. Now they go as a side on a takeaway meal, or on their own.
How can you eat chips with a fork? Wouldn't the chips crack if you try to spear them?
You use a spoon
I eat my pizza with a spoon, you heathen!
