Weird is right. If you dislike chopsticks so much, why do you use them?

According to the last US census, there are about 10 million people in
the US (about 4%) who list Asian as their only race. You've never known
any of those 10 million people well enough to know that some of them use
chopsticks?

[The data about asians in the census is a PDF file that will download
from the above when you click on it.]

I don't see that we need another poll. Many people who responded to
the last one said that they were very good at using chopsticks.
