Racism is the belief That inherent traits in different human groups justify racial discrimination. Racism has existed throughout human history. It may be defined as the hatred of one person by another - or the belief That another person is less than human - Because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor That Supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person . It has influenced wars, Slavery, the formation of nations, and legal codes.

Ever since the rise of the New Order regime 35 years ago, many Minorities in Indonesia have to face racism and discrimination of Indonesia. This is Achieved through many pieces of legislation. Some of them are specifically targeted at the ethnic Chinese minority. A minimum of 62 Such enactments are currently known to be valid law in Indonesia. These enactments regulate Various sectors Such as religion, economy, education, custom and culture and are to the effect of restricting the rights of the targeted ethnic in Those fields. However, we are glad President Gus Dur That has eliminated one of the regulations by Presidential Decree, even if this is far from being adequate.
As a result, racial violence has become a common phenomenon in Indonesia. In 1998 women of Chinese descend were targeted for rape, the rest of the ethnic Chinese community for assault, looting, and murder. Such atrocities Occurred in major cities Such as Medan, Makassar, Jakarta and Solo. Racial riots also Occurred Between the Dayaks, Malays and Madurese in Kalimantan in 1997. More recently in the Moluccas, mass-killings Occurred Between civilians belonging to two different religious groups. On a smaller scale, anti-Christian violence also Occurred in Mataram and anti-Chinese riots in Pekalongan.
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation enforced by the National Party Governments of South Africa Between 1948 and 1994, under the which the rights of the majority non-white Inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white supremacy and Afrikaner minority rule was maintained. Apartheid was developed after World War II by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond Organizations and was also practiced in South West Africa, the which was administered by South Africa under a League of Nations mandate (revoked in 1966), until it gained independence as Namibia in 1990.
Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times. However, as an official policy of apartheid was introduced Following the general election of 1948. New legislation is classified into four racial groups Inhabitants ("native", "white", "colored", and "Asian"), and residential areas were segregated, Sometimes by means of forced removals. Non-white political representation was completely abolished in 1970, and starting in year That black people were deprived of Their citizenship, legally Becoming citizens of one of ten tribally based self-governing Homelands called bantustans, four of the which Became nominally independent states. The government segregated education, medical care, beaches, and other public services, and Provided black people with services inferior to Those of white people.
As a human who has a mind it would be nice not to discriminate people based on race. We are created different to be able to recognize and respect each other. Not to insult and antagonize each other. Peace will come only if we can live together.
