what is self respect?

An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of " ---ese" are you?" The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean "The American repeated, "What kind of ---ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was confused over the question. The American, now irritated, then yelled "What kind of ---ese are you... Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese etc...... 

"The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese." 

A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked what kind of '...key' was he. The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of ' -key' am I ?!" The Japanese said, "Are you a monkey, donkey or a Yankee ?" 

Lesson:  Never insult anyone.
