What is considered considerate in one country might not be considerate in another country. If I go to Japan and they slurp their noodles, then I'll let them slurp their noodles and I'll try my best to slurp mine too, because I am trying to be nice and appreciate their culture.

When I go to India, I'll eat with my hands if I see others doing that.
When someone comes to Bavaria and attempts to eat a Weisswurst right out of the casing, I think to myself
>cool, he is trying out to eat like a local, good for him for trying it
When I see that stupid hapa food YouTuber coming to Bavaria and just bites into a Weisswurst SWALLOWING the casing, I think to myself
>what an asshat, he didn't even try and chose the most disgusting way to go about this

You do have a right to complain in your own country tho.

Do you also throw a fit when you visit Japan and encounter one of the following?
>squat toilets
>left-hand traffic
>public bath houses
>tattoos banned in some areas
>ceramic tiles on the outer wall of houses
>bowing
>smoking indoors being completely fine inmost places
>smoking outdoors being outright illegal in some areas
>advertising with half naked anime girls
>advertisement trucks playing loud music
>parents profoundly apologizing when their newborn even dares so much as to make a noise while riding an airplane / bus / train
>love for anything western but hate for anything western

Many things in foreign countries seem like a contradiction to oneself but make complete sense to the people who actually spent their whole life there.
Try and appreciate that the next time you visit somewhere.
