I know we're all supposed to be quoting and riffing, but that episode is on a long list of fictitious works of the 90s where the gag is "people who think you're being racist are the actual problem and should learn to chill out."

I took that ep to be more a reflection on how sheltered/myopic the gang is with race - in that scene Jerry accidentally realises how idioms which have previously been invisible to him are actually racist. The joke is on Jerry for being so obviously unaccustomed to thinking about race that he can't "read the room" and see that his jokes about the cigar store Indian are insensitive. He is not the good guy in the story. The bit with the Chinese postman is a Larry David "gently caress my luck" moment.

I'd also point towards Elaine's plot in The Wizard. Her and Jerry find themselves unable to articulate racial questions and end up asking "should we be talking about this?" Elaine is proud of herself for dating a 'black man' but obvously lacks the tools to discuss race and relies on stereotypes. She later finds out that Darryl similarly can't navigate race, and they realise that the only investment that had in the relationship was that they were fetishising the idea of dating someone outside their race.

You're not wrong that it's a trend in 90s shows, I just think this is a case where the joke is on the white people for their inability to navigate race rather than on strawman proto-SJWs. In any case I'll leave this ep alone in the thread for now.

Edit: I'd also say that "someone asks me which way's Israel, I don't fly off the handle" line still works within this idea. Of course you don't, Jerry, you're white.

What are you, out of your mind? Look at you, you're disgusting. You're bald, you're paunchy, all kinds of posts are emanating from your body twenty-four hours a day. If there's a woman that can take your presence for more than ten consecutive seconds, you should hang on to her like grim death.
