The Generic Ethnic Joke

For those of you who don’t like to poke fun at people, here
is The Generic Ethnic Joke:

A person, belonging to an ethnic group whose members are
commonly considered to have certain stereotypical mannerisms,
met another person belonging to a different ethnic group with
a different set of imputed stereotypical mannerisms.

The first person acted in a manner consistent with the
stereotypes associated with his ethnic group. He proceeded to
make a remark, which might be considered to establish
conclusively his membership in that group. Whereupon his
companion proceeded to make a remark with a double meaning.
The first meaning of which could be interpreted to indicate
his agreement with his companion. But the other meaning of
which, serves to corroborate his membership in his particular
ethnic group.

The first person took offense at his remark, and reacted in
a stereotypical way.
