“I arrived at this hotel in Jakarta on Wednesday, February 21st in the evening with my Indonesian mother-in-law, my husband who is of Indonesian-French descent, our two children, and myself, who am French and black. The receptionist refused to check us in because she claimed she had no proof of my French nationality. I possess French documents, namely a passport and an ID card, and I speak French. She, on the other hand, could not verify whether I spoke French or not. Anyway, she refused to give us rooms that were available as she claimed. She was willing to give us a room only if my mother-in-law stayed with us. Essentially, they are just racists. They refused to give us a room because I am black. Black. Black. That’s it. So, I experienced blatant racism tonight in Jakarta and I am deeply traumatized by it. Therefore, if you are black, do not stay at this hotel, simple as that.”
