Totok is an Indonesian language term of unknown origin colloquially used in Indonesia to refer to individuals of foreign (Dutch, other European or Chinese descent) who lived in the Dutch East Indies until Indonesian independence in 1945.[1][2] In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries it was popularised among colonists in Batavia, who initially coined the term to describe the foreign born and new immigrants of "pure blood" - as opposed to Eurasians or Indos.[3] When more Dutchmen were born in the East Indies, the term gained significance in describing those of exclusive European ancestry, or local creoles closer to that side of the racial spectrum.[1]
An antonym of Totok is Peranakan, meaning simply "descendants", which is used for other races that mixed with indigenous Asian peoples.[4]
