Abbreviation for Chinese Indonesian.
Constituting for only about 4% of the whole Indonesian population, these Indonesian born people of chinese ancestry control a huge segment of the economy, spurring social jealousy in their fellow indigenous brothers and sisters, thus resulting in racial discrimation towards them.
Would contain a different conotation for a chinese indonesian if spoken to him or her by a fellow chinese or indigenous indonesian.
In this sense of how the conotation can change when spoken by a different race, it can be compared to the word nigger.
