Shoppers in Jakarta’s Chinatown in February: Covid-19 has slowed down business. More than two decades ago, Indonesia formally repealed laws that promoted discrimination against citizens of Chinese descent. Getting rid of the underlying prejudice, however, will take yet more time. “I don’t want to drive into that street; it is packed,” says Anwar, a Jakarta taxi driver. It is an odd comment, since traffic in the city has thinned under the impact of Covid-19 related restrictions. Still, many drivers shy away from certain side-streets – such as the one that leads to the Petak Sembilan market in Jakarta’s Chinatown. The reason may indeed be to avoid crowding. But it may also be to avoid a neighbourhood whose residents – unjustly – have a negative reputation.
