There has been a riot happening in Indonesia, a riot of never-before-heard scale.
It is happening because of the unfair raise gotten by the people who works for the government, but, there are also a few anomalies (i dont know what word is best to express what im trying to say as english isnt my first language) spreading misinformation against chinese-indonesian people (im gonna call them chindo for short). Saying that they are the root of this whole problem, and this act as a fuel to a flame that is this riot. This is not the first time something like this happened, in 1998 a riot also broke out that impacted a lot of chindos (my grandma, grandpa, mother, aunts, uncles, and other relatives were a victim of this) as they were antagonized. A lot of stores were robbed, we can't defend ourself. PLEASE DONT LET THAT BE REPEATED. SPREAD AWARENESS
Im gonna show you some picture as more proof of this cruelty.

[7:15 AM, 8/29/2025] Hello everyone, theres been a news spreading on twitter. There are now police acting as normal people to target chindo, kids, and elderly people as a distraction (from the riot) like in '98 tragedy where civilians are attacking other civilians
[7:15 AM, 8/29/2025] There's already a lot of child victims getting tear gas thrown by those police itself, not incoicidentally
Guys, I am near pademangan. They are attacking chindos.

Andre Insomnia1989: GO INTO THESE CHINDOS STORE, ROB THEM IN THE MORNING
Harr!: YOU CAN ROB STORES BUT ONLY THE CHINDOS ONE
zax pluto: ROB THEM SO THAT ITS NOT THE POOR THAT SUFFERS!!!!!!
Again, I am telling EVERYONE that is reading this to SPREAD AWARENESS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. This racially charged hate crimes are not uncommon and will continue if left untouched.
