I once went to a Chinese restaurant and when food arrived they also gave me a fork, when I looked around all the Asian customers were given chopsticks.
Just ask for chop sticks, I do all the time. They are just playing the odds.
I was on a date with an Asian woman years ago, and she decided to order Chicken Fried Rice. I don't remember what I ordered, but it was something less stereotypically "white".
They gave me the fried rice, and a fork. We just laughed, traded dishes, and asked for another pair of chopsticks.
My wife asks for forks and knives all the time at Chinese restaurants. It's more efficient for her.
did you go to Dim Sum Paradise?
My first partner was adopted from China as a baby, so she looked Chinese but culturally she was 100% Canadian, raised in a very meat & potatoes kind of family.
My mom is a bit of a hippy, so she loved cooking stuff from all different cuisines and we'd regularly use chopsticks at home if eating Asian foods.
We went to a Chinese place together once and the staff were howling with laughter at the white kid using chopsticks opposite the Asian woman with a knife and fork. She learned how to use chopsticks shortly after, haha.
