Megan: Don't you think that sometimes Asian people make things worse for themselves by being different, covering their heads and all that.

Balvinder: How do you mean?

Megan: Well, if they're over here then they should follow our customs...

Balvinder: How can you say that?

Megan: Lots of people say it.

Balvinder: Lots of people say Chelsea's a good football team, but you don't have to agree. It's that idea of them. I'm one of them Megan, but I never came 'over here'. There isn't an over there to me, like some place where I really belong. I'm not a foreigner y'know, I was born in the same hospital John was - Britain is my home!!

Megan: So why don't some Asians act British - like us?

Balvinder: Hang on. You said us. But I was born here. Don't I count as one of us? Who is us if it doesn't include me?

Megan: Well, perhaps it only includes people if they have British customs?

Balvinder: Look, I didn't choose the way I was brought up and neither did you. You didn't choose your family's religion, or your family's language. Nobody told me when I was little I had to behave in a certain way or I wouldn't be British.

Megan: But you must admit that's how a lot of people see it.

Balvinder: What am I supposed to do about it? I was born here and I don't see why I can't be who I am. Why do I have to be any different? If I want to do things the way my family does them, why have I got any different rights than anyone else?
