It is rude in the US, if what you say is negative (you are fat/you need to lose weight).

Comment: In the sentence "It is common in my country, but I think it might be the case..." The 2nd "it" is not exactly clear. The grammar is correct, but I think if you clarify both "it"s, the meaning of the sentence will be clearer. Like this: (1) "Evaluating others based on their appearance is common in my country, but I think what I heard might be true, so I want to know your opinions." Or (2) "Even though evaluating others by their appearance is common in my country, I think what I heard might be true, so I want to know your opinions."
