And racism in Indonesia is not an actual racism by skin color or genetics or something like in the west or east asia, there's always a reason behind it.
Racism against Chinese-Indonesian is caused by economic disparity, though the gap is getting closer now. Nowadays there are way more successful non Chindo businessman than 25 years ago when there were killings. In places like Surabaya or Semarang chindo are living peacefully with non chindo, because there's not much wealth disparity between the.
There's also case of racism against Eastern Indonesian, but that's not because of their black skin. It's mostly because of them do not want to blend in with Western Indonesian culture. I had this Moluccan friend back in college and he was pretty popular because he can adapt and make friend with everyone. But one of his friend was generally hated because he was rude and loud.
That's how racism in Indonesia, not really a racism like in the west but mostly is the case of cultural and social difference.
You're the one who should get up your high horses (see things through the academic analysis lens, not your own personal experiences). Also get out from Jakarta, that place is a shithole that can poison your mind.
