The show's final scene is identical, or nearly, to the film's, as is the scene where Mei Li sees that scene from a movie on television. The woman in the film says that she's a wetback, which leads Mei Li to say, "My back is wet" in the final scene. I suppose someone might find this patronizing but . . . isn't it timely? OK, she's cutesy saying "My back is wet," but if someone is offended by that . . . I just don't know what to say. Oh, I do. It's a musical comedy.

There are people who seem to get off on being offended nowadays. Or who make a meme or hashtag about it. A good deal of what they are calling out is warranted, but some people seem to actually seek out and get a perverse sort of high from being offended and capitalizing on the attention they get for calling attention to themselves for being offended, it seems.
