- I've put that The Indonesian Ethnic Chinese and the view of nationhood page up for deletion. The contents have been merged to Chinese Indonesian. Please add your vote here. Thanks. Julius.kusuma 14:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Re: Totok
[edit]"Totok" is not always considered an offensive term, just as "Negro" is not always considered an offensive term. As Negro is included in the African-American article, "totok" should be included here. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 22:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- From the discussion page:
- "The term Cina totok as has been discussed above has a specific meaning and is not a general term for Chinese Indonesians".
- Do you disagree with the above statements?
- The quoted is my explanation for the removal. My comments regarding it being derisive is a side issue.
- The term 'totok' as I know it is not analoguous to 'negro', regardless of either being derisive or not.
- The term 'negro' is a general reference, while 'totok' is a specific reference.
