I stopped for dinner once at a Chinese restaurant in Mississippi run by people actually from China. I (white guy) used chopsticks and our server just stared at me wide-eyed for most of the meal. She said I was the first white person she had ever seen using them, and she'd been working there for years. That is Mississippi for you.
I didn't have the heart to tell her I'd learned to use them eating at Japanese restaurants.
