I generally enjoy videos from this series but this one contains one of life's minor annoyances. Apparently in the US (and some other places) when people say "Asian" they actually mean Chinese (and sometimes they include Japanese or Koreans). So when he says "Why do people in Asia use chopsticks?" he means "Why do people in China (and Korea and Japan) use chopsticks?". As a matter of fact, MOST Asian peoples do NOT use chopsticks (though there is a large Chinese diaspora all over Asia that does). The Thais most commonly use forks and spoons, and in countries from Indonesia to India to the Middle East people eat with their hands. And he's wrong when he says that in Asia rice is sticky (and is thus easy to pick up with chopsticks). In actual fact, it's only the Japanese who use rice which is moderately sticky. Most other rice (even in China) is the same sort of rice you find in American or European supermarkets (though not like Uncle Ben's, which is an abomination). Rather than pick up the rice, the Chinese "shovel" it from the bowl into the mouth. There IS glutinous rice, which is even stickier than Japanese rice but it's generally used in confections rather than eaten at meals every day. And the long-grained Basmati-type rice grown and used in India are definitely not sticky at all.
I suspect the original title of this video was "Why do Asians use Chopsticks", but some people pointed out the obvious..
Then there's that recent movie.. I haven't seen it yet, I suspect all the "Asians" in it are actually ethnic Chinese. Iskandar
