SEA Rising:

📍 Here's why 🇲🇾 Malaysians always insist that Indonesians are Malay people, meanwhile 🇮🇩 Indonesians always reject that idea.

Because the way Indonesians and Malaysians see their peoples is really really different.

● In 🇲🇾 Malaysia, all Malaysians with Indonesian ancestry (Bugis/Buginese, Malay itself, Java, Banjar, Acheh, Minang etc.) are all classified as Malay people (or "Bangsa Melayu"). Meanwhile Chinese and Indians living there are classified differently. In Malaysia there are (mainly):
1. Malay nation/race (all Malaysians of Indonesian ethnicities are in this category)
2. Chinese nation/race (all Malaysians of Chinese ethnicities are in this category) Read More »

Laughing so hard rn because OP quote-tweeted this & people were angry saying Local58 came first, COMPLETELY missing the point that they're not claiming Indonesia started analog horror first (everyone knows the US made it a thing & Local58 came first) It's the fact that Americans use analog horror as a response to the devastating result of the election RIGHT AFTER Indonesians use analog horror as a response to the infuriating law passed by the government that puts us all in a disadvantage.

Just wanted to bring up a good point from this guy regarding Nas Daily's recent videos while he was in Indonesia. Thousands of us were pissed at this Bali video (though some of his other videos are shedding a positive light on local heroes). All this, with saying Bali is the whitest place in Indo and how everything is cheaper there, it all sounds & feels like exploitation.
