Question: When Lisa guesses that Mr. Bergstrom is either Jewish or Italian, why does he quickly say that he is Jewish? As if he certainly doesn't want to be mistaken for Italian?

Warrin' Priests Part 2 - S31-E20
Question: Is there a reason Bart was so conspicuously absent from these two episodes? Homer even asks where he's been.
Answer: He was probably irrelevant to the plot so he was not included.
It's called lampshade hanging. By drawing our attention to it the producers are letting us know they are aware it is an issue.
Yes, but even when the family is having dinner together, he's not there.

Oh, Brother, Where Are Thou? - S2-E15
Question: How exactly did the production of Homer's car bankrupt Herb? If Herb, as a highly successful car manufacturer, was spending so much money spoiling Marge and the kids that an $82,000 price tag for making a car was enough of a straw to break the camel's back, wouldn't he have gone bankrupt sooner than later anyway?
Answer: It wasn't the cost of one car, but that they'd produced thousands of Homer's ridiculous vehicles, which they'd marketed as a family car, but cost five times as much as a new car at the time. No one would buy them and the company went under.
Wasn't the car just a demo though? How would they have been able to produce thousands of cars in such a short amount of time?
Big difference between a "demo" or prototype car compared to a launch car. The dealers must have stock available of the launch car so people can actually buy them straight away.

Answer: When I was a child, my classmate said I could be Jewish, Italian, or Middle Eastern, but I couldn't be what I truly was, Mexican.
I don't mean to be rude, but how does this answer the question?
It doesn't. Some people are extremely proud of their heritage, and to be considered something else can be insulting. For example. English people who live near the Wales border hate to be considered Welsh and vice versa.
