Why do Asians still use chopsticks?

I mean we've introduced the concept of the fork and spoon to them haven't we? Are those too expensive where they live or something or are they too proud to accept a Western innovation?

Maybe they should give back cars, computers, skyscrapers and pretty much every piece of military technology they now use in their armies, air forces and navies if they're going to be so high and mighty about their precious chopsticks.

Seriously, look at this poor girl. She probably wants to use proper silverware but can't because if she does her parents will disown her flat yellow ass.

I think I once had a discussion about this with my friends (I: Vietnamese, they: British). One reason is that we've been using chopsticks for thousands of years, why change? The same for the West, you don't change to chopstick too, right? Of course we use forks sometimes, we don't deny it but not on regular basis.

Also we use spoons every day to eat soup and rice you idiot. Everyone use spoons from the dawn of time.

One more reason to use chopsticks is we like eating...er... soup-meal like noodles, phở, ramen, blah blah... and it has to be served in a bowl. What will you look like if you eat ramen with a fork? Even Mr.Bean would say it's stupid.

Because some food does not work well with forks, such as hibachi noodles.

Also, not all Asians use chops. In Thailand they primarily use forks and secretly laugh at the foreigners using chops, for trying to be Asian.

And if anime has taught me anything, modern Japanese don't know how to use them [chops] either. heheh

Asia have had cultery since more or less before recorded history.
It wasn't given to them by "westerners".

Besides, it was generally the poor who used chopsticks as opposed to more expensive utensils, in that regard it really is no different than how people all over used to eat with their hands.

could've said paper or gunpowder or something.

Also, chopsticks are great for eating chips, coated nuts and other such "fingerfoods" because this way your hands aren't full of salt and shit each time you eat one fucking chip. And of course some of the bite-sized Asian dishes like Sushi are best eaten with chops.
They're inappropriate for everyday use at every meal though, since that will mess up your wrists.
