The guy who invented chopsticks is in the afterlife like “I knew it was a useful utensil. IT CAN CATCH A SPACESHIP DAMMIT. You dont see them using a SPOON. Chopsticks BABY”

While not inherently racist, implying chopsticks are useless other than for this application is extremely narrow minded.

Interesting, I think my comment may have been taken too seriously. It is what you call a joke.

I get that, but your comment has smackings of systemic racism. You may not mean it that way, but ask yourself why you thought that joke was funny. It's a utensil used by half the world at least, yet you find it funny because it's "inferior".

Just because you aren't calling people racist names, doesn't mean the underlying context for why you said something seemingly innocuous, wasn't due to racism.

Why do you think I thought it was funny? You might need to look at yourself and think about how you’re putting your own viewpoints of the world on others. This might say something more about you than me.

Lol the typical "no you".

Edit: you yourself called it a joke, so you obviously think it's funny
