"Just be proud of who you are" How? Visit the country, learn about its history? Sure I've done both, I'm half Indonesian. They could hardly put up a fight for 350 years against the Dutch mercilessly raping them, and only gained independence because the USA stepped in. Indonesia has hardly produced any notable world influence via people, culture, or products, and have pretty much been a loser nation forever. At the very least if I was Japanese or Mongolian, I could point to their cool history (aside from the crimes against humanity) and worldly influence, but I have nothing.
Being a WMAF hapa fucking sucks too because I am LITERALLY a stereotype byproduct of the fucking fact that South-East Asian women, as a group, are the most white worshipping demographic ever. How do I know this? Because I've experienced it. I've been to Indonesia plenty of times as a kid and now as an adult, and I find over and over again, that I am treated BETTER because I am half white. Women pay more attention to me, it's almost fucking effortless actually, all because I'm what ... 5'9 and have some anglo features? I go on twitter and reddit and just see, flat out, Indonesian women saying yeah Indonesian men are raisin and Bules (foreigners) are better. How the fuck am I supposed to feel as a guy? I had a good relationship with an Indonesian woman when I went to Jakarta this past summer, but I can't help but feel the fact that me being 5'9 and white-ish was a driving factor for her interest. I hate feeling like I don't belong anywhere, and I hate racially tied to a white worshipping, conquered, loser nation, and I hate that my race is mostly a byproduct of a literal meme fucking relationship stereotype. Indonesians aren't even the "cool" or intelligent Asians where I could benefit from that, like the Japanese/Korean, we're just the short brown low IQ ones nobody gives a fuck about despite being the 4th largest country in the world. what am I supposed be proud of?
