Re: Totok
"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. --M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 (T 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.
