Racist? ...... ama jalan2

Sebenernya judulnya gak tepat2 amet karena mungkin semua orang itu dasarnya rasis siy, kalo definisi rasis kayak seperti di sini .... well, at least kakak saya yang super miring pemikirannya berpendapat kayak gitu ....... kalo gak knapa kalo summer org2 sini rada2 ngejauhin orang afrika biar gak kebauan, atau nganggep orang turki atau marocco itu isinya kriminal semua ...... atau orang blanda yang nganggep IQ orang belgia rendah, atau orang jerman nganggep orang prancis pengecut gara2 nyerahin paris tanpa perlawanan, atau orang swiss dianggap orang dusun gara2 tinggal di pegunungan alpen (padahal gak semuanya lho ... )? itu rasis jg kan (pendapat saya subyektif banget siy ....) ......

ngomongin soal rasis mah panjang dan gak ada abis2 nya ... cuman saya pengen nyorotin soal mixed marriage ...... well .... udah banyak saya liat di sini ..... dan rata2 siy bule ama asia ..... satu yang saya cukup puji, sebagai mahluk yang punya homogenitas tinggi (di sini di satu negara ada brapa macem suku emangnya ... satu doang pan, paling logatnya aja ngaco2), orang sini cukup terbuka dengan yang namanya kawin campur (sekali lagi, ini hasil observasi saya di sekeliling saya). Gak ada di sini yang namanya harus kawin ama orang x, atau orang y dsb .... dan herannya (lagi2 ini mah cuman pengelihatan saya terhadap orang2 di sekeliling saya) some of them are a mixed marriage between Indonesian and western people (especially here in netherlands) .... how come? Let we change our geography now and focus on Indonesia ..... Indonesia consist of hundreds of ethnic and tribe, which are sharing the land and supposed to life together in harmony, accept the differences and also a mixed marriage ..... but what is the real condition? do we really accept a mixed marriage .... I come from Batak ethnic, and all my relatives always suggest me to find a batak girl too.... when I asked why, their answer always sounds like "to make your parents happy", or "because you are your father only son" etc .... how can they know that if I marry a people from the same ethnic will make my parents happy? what will makes my parents happy is when I have happy marriage and it does not depends on what the origin of the people that you are merried with ..... how can you judge from people's ethnic? and the strange thing, mixed marrige to a western people is more acceptable than to other Indonesian ..... strange hueh ..... does racist has a preference too???

Why I write this? ..... well it was happened to me once ..... 1.5 years ago ... when i was judged because of my origin, because of what God decided when He made me .... and also by peoples who claims their self a christian ..... isn't it written in bible (or in any other book) that we have to love each other? Considering that Indonesia is a religious country, I assume that everybody know that, at least hear it once .... strange hueh .... I don't know ... sad hueh??? I don't say that all Indonesian have the same behaviour, but still ... in a very educated family .... this thing still happens ..... and quite many ...... I don't ask much actually, just open your eyes ... why ethnic become the reason that peoples cannot be together .... I don't claim my self as a racist-free person .... but still, I try to be open-minded to see the different thing, different culture, and try not to judge it ... at least all I can do is to do my best ......... Thanks God my parents are not like that .......

Tapi saya juga bingung .... kalo saya nulis kayak gini, bukannya saya juga pilih2 type rasis yang berkenan buat saya ... ah bikin bingung aja ... sudah lah ... yang penting wahai orang indonesia ... mixed marriage it tidak haram kok .... dan percaya lah .. orang sering2 gereja juga gak brarti itu orang gak rasis ke suku laen ...... I've seen them ... and quite a lot ........

Anyway, for the last 2 weekend I spend my time in Belgium and Germany ... nice place ...... especially düsseldorf ..... is there any job vacant there ? please let me know ok ... hehehehehehehehehe .....




Isn't there a song about don't not pee in public places???? I think I hear it once .... anyway, Thanks to Wanda for the nice lunch .... sorry, I was quite sleepy that time, but not because of you .....

well, sometimes it needs a lot of courage and big heart to overcome that, but not all people have that ... even sometimes the one that you expect to ....
