And here's a wonderful quote about political correctness, I must say, Mei's comments are thought provoking and accute.​

"I'm half Chinese, but I've lived in the UK for my whole life and so can't see why I should be treated differently and skirted around just because of my ethnicity.

In the end it riles up a lot more people than it appeases, British or otherwise." Mei Cooper, 03.06.08​
