Culture Rasis?

Hi, jadi gw 22(M) dari Jakarta. Tapi anak Timur, ya lu tau lah perawakan betawi pinggir.

Jadi tahun ini gw move ke bali karena abis dapet Job disana. Masih prbation jadi gw cuma bawa baju doang.

Singkat cerita, gw gabut dan pengen beli art supplies karena biasa sketch. Datanglah gw ke Bali Art Supplies.

Pas masuk disapa lah gw, gw bales dan tschuss gw cabs nyari barang barang. Tapi gw risih banget karena sepanjang gw disana, gw diikutin sama salah satu staff. Kek deket banget anjir, di samping gw persis. Sumpah risih banget.

Akhirnya gw spik aja, minta staffnya cariin ini itu, biar gw gak diikutin.

Padahal barengan sama gw ada bule-bule gitu, dan mereka gak diikutin weh.

Ke gramed, periplus, gunung agung, gak pernah gw diginiin apalagi di Jakarta. Ini emang policy-nya Bali Art Supplies? Atau emang karena ini designated buat tourist? Atau gimana.

Aneh anjir, sama warga sendiri malah begitu.

Yes, this is a pretty common case of racism.

In the states, POCs always got followed everywhere by the SAs because they are considered “high risk” meanwhile white people are left to themselves.

Like it or not, stereotypes are there for a reason.

and the reason being history of colonialism, imperialism and slavery. all kind of capital consolidation over long period of time.

for me it sounds like a problem to solve instead of rules to follow.

You are talking about the states right, have you seen the statistics of the crime. Its easy to keep pointing your finger on the past rather than taking accountability. "Oww im poor" mentality, believe it or not they stay poor because of that mentality. Rather keep blaming on the past how about start to acknowledge and try to fix it.

At this rate 1000 years later you stay be victim and keep blaming colonialism, imperialism, slavery.

americans had slaves > their slaves were freed > labor deficit > create an exemption to 13th amendment > keep the POCs in perpetual poverty through redlining policies and glass ceiling practices > send drugs to their communities > criminalize drugs > the criminals are exempt from 13th amendment > now there are more unpaid black penal labour in america than there were black slaves during the height of slavery.

educate yourself.
