Abstract

Indonesia is a country that uses the basic concept of the "bhineka tunggal ika" state, which is the concept of the country's population politics to unite the views of national unity among diverse populations or citizens, both racially, religiously and ethnically. Although it looks harmonious, especially in inter-ethnic relations, stereotypical views between ethnicities persist in varying intensities. The study was conducted with ethnographic methods in Kampung Pecinan (Chinatown) and Kampung Gabahan at Semarang. The stereotyped case finding, the population of Chinatown, which is mostly rich Chinese businessmen, shows fairly exclusive behavior regarding ethnic relations, while in neighboring Kampung Gabahan there are also many ethnic Chinese, they are more inclusive in their behavior. However, the issue of stereotypes remains strong in the two villages and is very influential on the models of social interaction. The emergence of stereotypical views is indeed inseparable from the existence of inter-class conflicts that were previously deliberately created by the Ducth Colonial Government in the past, and the effects drag on until now.
