Mumtaz: Oh cool, they do cheesy rarebit here. Hey Meg, isn't that s'posed to be Welsh?

Megan: Yeah yeah, and before you go on, so are leeks.

Mumtaz: Hang on, I didn't say anything!

Megan: Sorry. I didn't mean to have a go at you. But sometimes it really gets to me that all people ever say about Welsh people is that they supposedly eat leeks, like sheep, go down mines and talk in a way that's supposed to be funny.

Mumtaz: I know what you mean. We visited relatives in Ireland last year..... all I'd ever heard about Ireland was the IRA and jokes about Irish people being thick.

Megan: If you've never met an Irish person... well, I s'pose you could believe the jokes couldn't you?

Mumtaz: Yeah, just like if you've never met a Pakistani you would think they all talk in a funny accent and run a corner shop and have loads of kids and are probably terrorists too.

Megan: But have you heard the one about the Englishman with the big ears?

John: Oh yes, what's this then? It's okay to take the **** out of me is it, just because I'm white?

Megan: No, not because you're white, it's because you're, like the majority. You're the main group so jokes can't harm you so much. I mean, there's no point in me making jokes about the way English people speak is there?

John: I don't know about that. It wouldn't feel very nice if I was the only English kid. Hang on, what am I saying?

Megan: Well, look, I think it's about the power to make people feel uncomfortable....

John: What, so like it's one thing for kids to make jokes about teachers, 'cos they've got all the power and we're just trying to knock them down a bit. It's really out of order if they made jokes to put us down though, 'cos some of them can put us down enough as it is.

Mumtaz: So, Megan, there was this Englishman with big ears.....?

Megan: Actually, there's no such joke, I was just checking you out.

John: Hmmm.
