Who is Indah .. ??

A lot of prejudice when someone looks up to finally meet with me (with appropriately) for the first time, either on the character or identity of myself. After knowing about me more, they express it with innocent and honestly, like "When I first knew you, you look really “Jutek”, you know!" Or "The first time I knew you, I guess you Moslem. But I'm confused, how come you have never seen praying. I almost want to invite prayers, Ndah.." Or "Earlier I saw you, you seem grumpy person deh.." And so on.

I think this prejudice has been or will even be something unusual for me. So far, many people who are newly met with me have more or less prejudice like that. But, the thing that sometimes makes me confused is why many people precisely assess or prejudice of the identity of a person with a face that seemed to be a benchmark in this assessment?

For example, some friends admit that they have a prejudice toward me, which the prejudices of my face was used as the starting measuring. One of my friends said, "Your face like the Batak people, Ndah. Because of that I think you are the Batak people. Hey, in fact you are Javanese.." Or any other friend who said, "Your face don’t like those non-Muslims (read: Christian), Ndah. Your face looks more Islamic.." When I heard confessions from them, honestly, I was surprised and funny. How can it be?? I was shocked and thought it was funny because its prejudice is what maybe said to prejudice the less reasonable. But it just became my secret and God. I just know it and very grateful for their honesty about the prejudice toward me, although maybe I could do nothing to clarify it through words. But I believe, over time the prejudices that will really show the "real value", that I am a Javanese and I am Catholic. And I am proud of my identity :D
