Younger guy from the southern US here, I have done this just to fuck with people. I'm just not very sensitive to the "bite" onions are supposed to have. I can chop quite a few of them before my eyes start to water.

Your cutting technique can make a huge difference too, avoid cutting the base and there's less of that sticking l chemical released

It sounds like an old wives tale, and maybe I'm naturally resistant, but if I consistently press my tongue to the roof of my mouth as I chop onions, I do not cry.

Anecdotal, of course.
