Shasha Gilanya<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0refused when invited to take pictures by some people at Panataran Temple.
I thought how arrogant is this person. But then when I got to know her better, it turned out that Shasha was really cool and far from arrogant.
Then why refuse?
\"Because it's too frequent. At first I was proud and felt like a celebrity, but after a while it got really annoying,\" said another foreigner.
\"I feel like I'm just being treated as a photo object. They should have come politely and asked for an acquaintance, or at least said 'hi', instead of suddenly approaching for a photo and then leaving,\" said another bule.
Let alone them, I often get annoyed when I'm seriously chatting and then suddenly a group of people come to interrupt the conversation so they can take photos with the bule. It's even more annoying to wait for a photo session while that many people ask for shots from their respective cameras (and one \"shot\" can be up to 3-5x).
Apart from being annoying, frankly, the attitude sometimes makes me embarrassed because it's like dehumanising our own nation. You know how fans chase after celebrities? It's because the fans hold the celebrity in a higher regard, so there's a sense of pride in just being able to take a photo with them.
Then do we feel that our nation is inferior to theirs that we should be so \"in awe\" of those with white skin?
(Btw, Caucasians also smell when they wake up, especially when they play. They also get boils and cantengen ... just like us, right?).
So when \"a bule refuses to take a photo\", it doesn't mean they are arrogant, but maybe because they are so tired of \"impromptu popularity\", and maybe they are also in a hurry.
So, you can't take photos with Caucasians, is that the story?
That's fine ..... As long as the approach is reasonable and okay. Say \"hi\", ask for an introduction, chat a bit, then ask permission to take a photo. Then look at the situation, if it's possible to continue. But if the bule looks busy or doesn't want to be bothered, don't ask for a photo.
The important thing is not to just meet a foreigner in the middle of the road and ask for a photo. It's just that Caucasians continue to be cool objects for thumb harvesting. Don't be ... that's tacky behaviour.
Well, now I tell you. If you want to meet a foreigner who is really sincere to be invited to take photos, yes at Keboen Kopi Karanganjar laaah ....
Guaranteed they won't dare refuse to be invited to take photos ......
Do you want to accept the risk of not being fired?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ditulis pada 10 November 2017 Oleh : Wima Brahmantya “Ga mau .. Saya bukan monyet”, demikianlah\u00a0Shasha Gilanya\u00a0menolak ketika diajak berfoto oleh beberapa orang di Candi Panataran. Saya pikir kok sombong sekali ini orang. Tapi lalu ketika saya sudah mengenal dia lebih dekat, ternyata Shasha ini orangnya asik banget dan jauh dari sombong. Lalu kenapa menolak? “Karena terlalu sering. Awalnya saya bangga dan merasa seperti selebriti, tapi lama-lama ini sangat mengganggu”, kata bule yang lain. “Saya merasa cuma diperlakukan sebagai obyek foto saja. Seharusnya mereka datang dengan sopan dan mengajak kenalan, atau setidaknya bilang “hai” begitu, bukan tiba-tiba mendekat minta foto terus pergi begitu saja,” kata bule yang lain lagi. Jangankan mereka, saya aja juga sering jengkel ketika lagi serius ngobrol lalu tiba-tiba serombongan orang datang memotong pembicaraan biar bisa foto sama bule. Lebih menjengkelkan lagi menunggu sesi foto sementara orang sebanyak itu minta jepretan dari kameranya masing-masing (dan sekali “jepret” bisa sampai 3-5x). Selain jengkel, terus terang saja sikap tsb kadang membuat saya malu karena itu seperti merendahkan martabat bangsa sendiri. Anda tau kalo para fans mengejar selebriti? Itu karena para fans memposisikan selebriti tsb lebih tinggi, sehingga ada kebanggaan kalo hanya sekedar bisa berfoto bersama. Lalu apakah kita merasa bahwa bangsa kita lebih rendah dari mereka sehingga kita harus begitu “kagum” dengan mereka yang berkulit putih? (Btw bule kalo baru bangun tidur mulutnya juga bau lho, apalagi kalo boker juga tambah bau lagi. Mereka juga bisa bisulan dan cantengen … sama kan kayak kita?). Jadi ketika “seorang bule menolak diajak berfoto”, tidak berarti mereka sombong, tapi mungkin karena mereka sudah begitu lelah dengan “popularitas dadakan”, dan mungkin mereka juga sedang terburu-buru. So, ga boleh foto sama bule nih ceritanya? Boleeh …. boleh banget. Asal pendekatannya wajar dan oke. Say “hi”, ajak kenalan, ngobrol dikit, trus minta izin berfoto. Terus lihat situasi, kalo memang memungkinkan ya lanjut aja. Tapi kalo si bule lagi kelihatan sibuk atau tidak mau diganggu ya jangan diajak foto. Yang penting jangan asal ketemu bule di tengah jalan terus ngajak foto. Pokok asal bule terus jadi obyek keren buat panen jempol gitu. Janganlah … norak bingitz itu kelakuan. Nah, sekarang saya kasih tahu. Kalo mau ketemu sama bule yang benar-benar ikhlas lahir batin diajak foto, ya di Keboen Kopi Karanganjar laaah …. Dijamin meraka ga akan berani nolak diajak foto …… Emang mau terima risiko tak pecat?<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meneer-notes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dekaranganjar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
