If you were eating at elsewhere other than your own living space or a restaurant and were offered chopsticks instead of a fork and spoon (and knife) to eat your food with, perhaps especially if non-Asian cuisine were to be served, would you feel comfortable with that? Yes

I'm physically incapable of eating with chopsticks (so why was I invited to this inconsiderate person's place to eat?!).

I am, to my knowledge, not at all of Asian heritage, but I've recently been eating many foods with chopsticks, at least while I'm dining alone in my living space. Were I to bring along a pair of chopsticks to a restaurant that doesn't serve Asian dishes and ate there with my own utensils, would you consider that a case of what some people call cultural appropriation? Yes

Since I'm physically incapable of eating with chopsticks, I don't want to think about anyone else eating with them either.
