Ya but I also think it's ok to react to foreign cultures in a variety of ways. There isn't one way we have to be all the time. If someone is grossed out by something they've never seen before then they aren't automatically a bigot or racist.
If someone scooped up my rice with their hands I'd not want the rice. We use utensils for serving things and I'm sure other cultures have a variety of opinions about that. I'm sure I'd get used to it if I moved somewhere where it was normal.
