Bule
to by Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia or KBBI (the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian language) bule is a word for foreigners used the carelessly staying time come to Indonesia and Indonesian knowledge. But the word does not refer to a stranger coming into this country to the entire population. Normally it has white people like Europeans, Americans or Australians. Occasionally, some say Bule Africa (African Bule) which relate originating from Africa.
Despite their longer stay periods in Indonesia, many foreigners are still stigmatized
'bule' by their neighbors. This is quite annoying considering nothing has changed relationships in their neighbor. The locals still look as strangers and do not have the foreigners who receive life in their community. Things will be different than they have Indonesian friends; Locals call no longer a foreigner 'Bule' if he or she befriends a local Indonesian. However, when a local resident his foreign friend to other friends would like to present, he still often used the word 'Bule'.
called Foreign tourists and adventurers Indonesia for a month or two to visit are "Bule", "Mr" and "Miss". Not only these sound weird, but the title eventually prove disturbing than simply because they come from different countries and cultures. In the West, the people do not give a stranger or newcomer odd names. Unlike Western nations, foreigners staying for more than a month or two to work or really disturbed in Indonesia study found. This is especially true when a lot of people screaming hold 'Bule' with them again and again, while earlier knew indeed and met. Frankly, such an atmosphere makes foreigners uncomfortable.
Many are curious to integrate the possibility of foreigners in the local community. If the word "Bule" disappear? Could it happen in Indonesia? Acceptance of foreigners to a severe degree, is quite a job public prejudices about foreigners for and vice versa. For example, many Indonesians opine that most foreigners are rich, they should more for products and services that they paid to buy in this country.
Not all foreigners are rich. Therefore, it is to find unpleasant that when entering tourists, appears to be discrimination. Foreigners pay much more expensive tickets compared to the Indonesian visitors for tourist attractions. Based on my experience during tourist places in the US to visit Australia and New Zealand, I never saw the price differences between foreigners and locals. Granted, there will be a special price for students and seniors.
Some Europeans, especially those who are yet to visit Indonesia have to pay some prejudices against Indonesia. Think, for example, some of my Czechoslovakian friends that Indonesia is a country where people still live in primitive houses in the woods; no electricity and no internet connection. Such erroneous detection and misunderstandings usually occurs when people settle only in their country and never go abroad. Getting the wrong end of the stick is worse than one focuses not have a good education or only on their work, giving them no one else to understand in this world, but himself.
people who abroad can a Los traveled or live in other countries know from their home country or countries they have visited, share taken. This experience is instrumental to open her eyes and enlightening residents in the countries visited. While foreigners can learn the particular local language, local languages to learn. Europeans, for example, have 40-50 different languages in addition to English, which is spoken in Great Britain and Ireland.
In an attempt to maintain a better relationship between locals and foreigners, it is important to show respect for privacy. This not screaming to foreigners on the street, because it runs on their comfort and safety contrary. On the other hand, foreigners are required to appreciate local people and their traditions. To this end, it must be certain groups of people, such as tour guide, explains the importance of the culture and customs of local residents to foreigners through intercultural communication. This is how good communication and mutual respect can be built.
Although some expats consider a very rough concept "Bule", it can have different meanings depending on their context. find some Indonesian people that 'Bule' is a neutral word, with its potential positive and negative meanings. Others argue that the term is functional to describe a white foreigner. Linguistically, white foreigners or foreigners should not feel offended when people call them "Bule". The term is more of an oral language for every day conversations. Despite its verbal identity consider some Indonesian people that the word 'Bule' is not offensive and is meant to be rude.
As the term is closely tied to the oral address, would educated people never call a white person 'bule' in a formal setting, such as in a meeting. It is considered unnecessary because it is handling. A learned Indonesian is no white person "Bule" call, unless the person insult intended. Due to the common misinterpretation by Westerners, that the word is an insult, use the more cautious of street vendors, the term "Lord", the foreigners find polite.
