Isang video ng babae na nagkakamay habang kumakain ng kanin ang naging mitsa ng diskusyon ng netizens.
Ang naturang short clip ay ibinahagi sa X (formerly Twitter) ng user na may handle na @jusbdonthate, isang U.S. citizen, nitong January 7, 2024.
Ang kanyang tweet, “Y'all, why this lady sat next to me eating with her damn hands? In a nasty airport.
“Thank you, thank you, hand eaters. We can all thank you for leaving your saliva around our airports & public spaces. Raising the chances of us having to go back into mask mandates.”
Aniya sa isa pang tweet, “Leave your hand sucking at home. Share your bowl of rice in at home with your family.”
Ang clip ay nakakuha na ng mahigit 23 million views.

May ilang X users na nag-agree sa pagiging "unhygienic" ng pagkakamay ng pagkain, pero may mga bumatikos din sa pagiging racist ni @jusbdonthate.
Paalala pa ng ilan, kinunan niya ng video ang babae nang walang consent nito.
Anang isang nagkomento, na tila ginaya pa ang accent ni @jusbdonthate, “Y'all be so invested in other people’s lives like damn you recording a stranger eat and you don't find that creepy and weird."
Paliwanag naman ng isang user ay may kinalaman ang kultura kung paano kumain ang isang tao.
“If it was an American having fries you wouldn't bat an eye. It's not like she's sharing it with you either it's her own portion and how she culturally does things and it's less wasteful in terms of cutlery.”

Susog naman ng isa pa, “You forget that different cultures exist? If somebody was eating fries with their hands, I highly doubt you'd be secretly videoing them.
“All of this whilst you have India's national flower in your display name.”
Pero hindi nagpakabog si @jusbdonthate.
Depensa niya, "Culture aside. Is rice really a finger food? Shoving grains into your mouth with saliva at an airport is appalling.”
Dagdag pa niya, “At least with a french fries, you don't have to eat the portion you touched. You wouldn't believe the number of people who don't wash their hands.”

Buwelta naman sa kanya ng isa pang user, “It's her mouth, her hands. Stop interfering and mind your business. Your handle name and your actions don't match."
Ayon sa artikulong nalathala noong September 11, 2021, sa website na healthshots, “Eating with hands isn’t filthy at all. In hindsight, it has major health benefits.
“The practice of eating with one’s hands, specifically your fingers, has its origin in Ayurvedic. It propagates the teaching that our bodies are in sync with the five elements of nature, and each finger is an extension of one of these five elements.”
Nalalaman din umano kung mainit pa ang pagkain, kaya hindi kailangang isubo kaagad.
Sa hindi naman matapus-tapos na argumento sa tweet ni @jusbdonthate, karamihan sa nagkomento ay nagsabing: “Anyone eating their food with their hands shouldn't be anybody else's problem.”
