My family is mostly Ashkenazi[*], but we still eat rice etc. during Passover, though mostly because we're not strict enough to bother with not eating kitniyot. This did get me highly annoyed at a religious zionist settler kid I was stationed with when I was in the army, as he had the nerve to suggest that I shouldn't be eating my rice crackers. Considering I couldn't eat much of the food at the mess due to being vegetarian, and had even fewer choice during Passover (meat replacement schnitzel was hametz), I think I was right. He did keep out of my way during the rest of Passover - partly to not see me eat the rice crackers, and partly to avoid me yelling at him for daring to suggest I can't eat them (which I would if he would have even looked at me skewed).
[*] the part that isn't Ashkenazi isn't jewish so it doesn't count.
