		<description>Yes, i think many of indonesian govt. official must be replaced. Even my self (not oriental face) feel that govt off always think that i am rich. A person who apply for a passport must be rich he he. Even apply for a KTP/KK always like that. Hopefully they will be replaced to a better person.  Praise the Lord.

I send my daughter to a school that tought mandarins. So Me and my daugther who always at school morning and in the afternoont (gue anter dan jemput ya bukan ikutan sekolah hehe) Got the feeling that i am minority. Yes indeed eventhough the majority are Indonesian..., but we cant mingling.  Am I a minority in my own Country? Dalam hati gue berbicara... muke loe jawa sich hehe ( you know what i mean) nyekolahin nya di sekolah yang mayoritasnya beretnis kulit kuning &amp; India face.

Kalau gue ke Mall, anak gue sering mendapat sambutan dari orang2 yang beretnis tertentu, begitu lihat gue...cuma senyum kecil sambil menjauh (anak gue kulitnya kuning bersih (Ibunya dari Minang dan emang kuning bersih) kalau gue agak gelap.  Apakah ini diskriminasi? Gue rasa bukan.

Ketika gue mau jemput sekolah...banyak petugas keamanan yang menanyakan ID for jemput anak. Tapi gue lirik ke tempat lain..semua orangtua yang berkulit bersih/tertentu bebas masuk walaupun tanpa senyum.  Apakah ini diskriminasi? Gue rasa bukan.... 

Kesimpulan gue sementara adalah Mayoritas orang sering memiliki pandangan/opini dari sekilas pandangan....yang akhirnya keterusan. Dibuat membudaya...

Seperti Orang berkulit Hitam Nigeria di Jakarta yang dicap Bandar Narkoba.... Orang berkulit Coklat Melayu/Jawa dicap sebagai Tenaga Kerja/pembantu/suster.... Orang berkulit kuning China..dicap orang kaya/pedagang/cerdik/licik... Orang berkulit seperti India...dicap pedagang/licik/cerdik dllsb.

Tapi Indonesian Founding Father ... Ir Soekarno/M Hatta memahami pentingnya Unity in Diversity. Sayang Pak Harto melakukan kebijakan penyelamatan ekonomi yang membawa kearah Diskriminasi. 

Kalau ada yang salah dari opini gue ... mohon dimaklumi karena keterbatasan wawasan. Awalnya aja bahasa Inggris...ujung2nya gak bisa nerusin tanpa Mother Tounge.

Salam Kenal

		<description>Therry &amp; Rima, indeed you are soul mate :P

&lt;blockquote&gt;I know, it&#039;s so spooky! When I told Rima to proofread my posting, she immediately told me she was actually writing a similar post! But hers is so much better and a lot detailed than mine ;)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>One of your best pieces, Therry. I totally agree. I have been harassed sexually, emotionally, mentally, and financially in Indonesia. That&#039;s the price I paid for being a triple minority.

I&#039;m writing a column on &quot;being a Chinese is not a problem.&quot; Guess who is the real &quot;problem&quot;? :D

&lt;blockquote&gt;Oooohohoho.... looking forward to read your article. Do let me know when it&#039;s finished. You are wicked....

I like! :D

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
