I disagree with eating loose soft food (like rice/beans/sauces) with your hands. Sorry India and Ethiopia, you are ****ing wrong.

But we eat fries and pizza with hands. . .

That's akin to saying "we eat sandwiches by hand"
And while pizza and fries are not snadwitches, they are encased in bread, which generally falls into the hand category.
If you are scooping sauce and rice out of a platter, that's not hand food.

Here in the American South, eating pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ, fried chicken, French fries, fried fish, bread, and some vegetables with your hands is normal. 

Since a lot of Southeast Asians got resettled in my area after Vietnam, you sometimes see people using chopsticks, but that seems to be fading as the older generations die out.  Many restaurants still provide them, but you have to ask.  I have attracted stares when eating spaghetti with chopsticks.
