How about Thai?


This joke is from tonight's episode of Community.

Coincidentally, just yesterday, I posted a quote from a friend's mom saying that "Chinese people are the Mexicans of Asia." Maybe she's not racist, maybe she's a writer for NBC.

However, I'm a little confused now. If Chinese = Mexican and Thai = Mexican, then via transitive property shouldn't Chinese = Thai as well? People need to be more explicit with their stereotypes if I'm ever going to feel all right about sharing their sentiments. I need to understand what the insulting generalization is because I don't want to come across as ignorant.
