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.
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 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.

Just ask for chop sticks, I do all the time. They are just playing the odds.

My wife asks for forks and knives all the time at Chinese restaurants. It’s more efficient for her.
