Asian, but I’m terrible using chopsticks

Just by appearance it’s clear of my origins; most would assume that I’m familiar using chopsticks, but I’m actually terrible using them. In general I would say its looked down on or maybe a little embarrassing when someone can’t use chopsticks, but if it’s from one that’s Asian, its triple times worse.
