I once had a coworker who just took a bite out of a raw onion right in front of me. They were completely unfazed, like it was an apple or something. I'm still a little emotionally scarred.

Was he Eastern European?

No, I don't think so. He was a younger guy from the southern US, if I remember correctly. Is that something east europeans do on the regular??

Southern guy probably was eating a Vidalia onion. The soil is low in sulfur, I believe, and has a more neutral acidity, so the onion is pretty uniquely sweet. I heard one older southerner call them dirt apples.
