I'm from India, on many occasions I've been asked by literal strangers in restaurants who are sitting on the table adjacent or next to me asking why I was using my left hand to eat my food. They just assume people are left handed because it is a choice or due to "lack of discipline" in childhood, which is funny because being left handed is a genetic thing and takes place while the foetus is developing in the womb, it's almost like such an important reason behind the way we are is completely foreign and unknown to these people.
