  • You may have seen videos online interviewing foreigners about being Black in either Japan or South Korea but I barely see videos about being black in Indonesia. In this video, I share my experience as a Black British male who had previously lived in America and travelled extensively across Asia.
    I can tell you for sure being black in Indonesia is way better than being black in America or the UK. This is my honest journey across the island of JAVA, Indonesia. The people of Indonesia are one of the most friendliest I've ever met and its street food are just amazing.

    In Indonesia, racism still exists, sometimes a small form of racism is implied or hidden in a joke when we banter between friends. Our nation is not a perfect nation, but we hope we can continue to uphold our country's slogan "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" which means "unity in diversity" because we have various races, from yellow, brown skin to black skin (Melanesian race) in eastern Indonesia
    Thanks for the video

      Racism is basically an act of discrimination against a race. if you mean to describe the characteristics of a certain race, it is only limited to a joke, it is not an act of racism because there is no element of discrimination there. don't get me wrong in interpreting racism so that new sensitivities emerge.

    • @cozypenguin6630
      @cozypenguin6630 Před rokem +262

      Many black people who are not angry are called "black-man" in Indonesia because they understand that it is not a element of discrimination, it's the same when we call white people "bule". in Indonesia, all of these calls do not contain elements of discrimination, they are only limited to calls to describe the characteristics of a race. Don't equate it with the US when calling the N-word, automatically it is an act of discrimination because there is a bad history of discrimination behind the call.

      Racist jokes do exist in Indonesia. I'm Indian-Chinese born and raised in Indonesia. My friends always joke about Indian and Chinese people (stereotypes) and I also joke back about Javanese and Sundanese stereotypes. No one ever has hard feelings about it because we know those were jokes and we truly respect each other. In my experience, people who call on others racist have hatreds buried deep in their hearts just as much as a true racist do.

    Racism and discrimination stem from disparity and injustice. Even in Indonesia, where there are disparities in areas such as education and healthcare, the habit of showing respect and kindness towards others has helped to unite the diverse population. The moral values held by Indonesians have played a key role in fostering a sense of togetherness. 🥰🥰

    • @hikashia.halfiah3582
      @hikashia.halfiah3582 Před rokem +68

      This, racism and discrimination are probably symptoms of deeper problems of the society, usually inequality, disparity, injustices, etc. Indonesia is not exactly free of racism either (especially worse during pre-reformation), but our cultural value and national historical root has make the Indonesia that's fairly tolerant you see nowadays; even with the same inequality, disparity, and injustice problems.
      Doesn't mean we should be lulled to this false sense of security though, eventually if the deeper problems persists, especially social inequality is not handled well, we will be well on express train to ethno-religious-social conflicts, maybe even way worse than the US now.

About moral value, oh idk where to start about this, try being gay or apostate, you will see what kind of moral value they hold on to.

    8:30 Asia-Afrika Street is named after Konferensi Asia-Afrika (Afro-Asian Conference) in 1955. It sparked the independent movement across Africa. Even one of the country which had the representation in the conference did not even had a flag yet, and the committee created it. Nelson Mandela often mentioned the importance of Afro-Asian Conference for the African countries. Yet, it is way underrated since it is not the western favor. On the contrary, it shows the real face of the West in the history.

      Saying that there isn't any racism is an overestimation, if the racist joke between friends is not a good example then the events of 1998 is a prime example. It's just that in Indonesia,children from a very young age is educated to respect others despite their difference be it skin colour, race , religion , etc . To put it simply It is the nature of Pancasilla the ideology of Indonesia to not be racist .

I am Indonesian and from early childhood I grew up with all sorts of cultures and races, I'm chinese-indonesian myself but most of my friends aren't lol.

    Hi Sheku, hope that you are enjoying your visit to Indonesia. As someone who had lived pretty much in the most conservative sided part of the US, i can totally understand what you feel. I think that with the current condition of the US, more and more Black Americans are tempted to also live and to work here as well. Since this country, which actually is as far as from the West Coast to the East Coast, is large... many more things for you to discover and to unravel ahead. My best tip will always be to taste every best local cuisine from each city. You will discover how the tastebud can be so different, even if they are in the same island. Even the soy sauce ketchup has different ingredients. Enjoy!
