Kick Racism from Indonesia…
July 4, 2008
FIFA has long declare to kick racism from Football and bit by bit they are succeeding in removing racial barrier and racial stereotyping from football..
Believe it or not, in this plural culture of Indonesia racism lives around us.. sadly Indonesian people worship it in their many hours of TV ads, TV drama, etc. And yet we call our self bhineka tunggal ika. Let me show you why. In TV adv, have you notice how much Adv is selling whitening products? Dozen of it, my friend. from Lux whitening, Ponds skin care, Nivea whitening, Tje Fuk, so on and so on.. All with the same Doctrine “Paint your skin white before u fall in love” its sick isn’t? why I called it sick, its because naturally Indonesian skins is aint white ladies and gentleman… our natural skin tone as an indo – malayan race are sweet sexy brown or in indonesian we called it Sawo Matang. It is true, however, that some tribes does have white skin tone.. but who says we should define beauty by staying white?
Another joke of our own race is that this phenomenon is followed by the mushrooming of indo-caucasian artist. We indonesian people adores them like god. Lets say Rianti Cartwright, Bruce White, Dimas Beck, Cinta Laura, and loads of other more that I despise myself to mention.. Not any mean to be racist to those artist, but hello people.. thats not indonesian beauty..
Wait I’m not finish just yet. Look at our Miss Indonesia.. Only artika that represent Indonesian beauty. other than that.. Indonesia vote for Nadine half german (and half brain) girl.. the latest miss Indonesia Sandra Angelia spended half of her life living in Australia. Gets a degree from some university there, come home to Indonesia.. and we worship her as the representative of Indonesian beauty.. she and Indonesian does not have any proximity at all..
If any racism contest were ever held, between Indonesian – German Nazi and American Ku Klux Klan. Indonesian will win the contest. Why? its because Nazi and Ku Klux Klan is only racist to other race and perceive their own race as the best. While Indonesian is even racist to its own race..

Racism is good for Indonesia. It is everywhere in the heart of every human being. It is always been there

I do think we can relate this to the so called inherited-attitude doctrine from colonialism – that the other (esp. caucasian) race is better than bumiputera….
which unfortunately, this mindset laid until now
