The Japanese more often don't use chopsticks. Try explaining this to someone that eats out at "all you can eat" sushi tuesdays.
Americans complicate things in an attempt to sound more sophisticated than others.

Your absolutely right, sushi is actually finger food and supposed to be eaten with your fingers. I learned this from a little old japanese women and her husband who ran this great sushi place in Perth Australia. I spend 6 months there and ate at their place about 40-50 times, they taught me all the ways sushi should be eaten, prepared and they even taught me the right way to pick and cut the fish. Also the pickled ginger servered with sushi isnt suposed to be put on the sushi, like alot of people do, it is actually suposed to be eaten between pcs of sushi/sashimi to cleanse the pallete for the next piece.
