In the Cigar Store Indian he flies off the handle because Jerry asks him where the nearest Chinese Restaurant is.

MAILMAN: Why must I know? Because I'm Chinese? You think I know where all the
Chinese restaurants are? Oh, ask honorable
Chinaman for location of restaurant.

JERRY: I asked because you were the mailman, you would know the neighbourhood.

MAILMAN: Oh, hello American Joe. Which way to hamburger, hotdog stand?

And Jerry kills me later in that episode with:

You know, I don't get it. Not allowed to ask a Chinese person where the
Chinese restaurant is! I mean, aren't we all getting a little too sensitive? I
mean, someone asks me which way's Israel, I don't fly off the handle.

Wasn't this Chinese man also the guy at the small grocery store Jerry and his date went to in "The Stock Tip?" Jerry asks him if he has a certain cereal in puffs.

Yes, Benjamin Lumm...same guy.
