===Repatriation=== From 1945 to 1949 the [[Indonesian National Revolution]] turned the former Dutch East Indies into an increasingly hostile environment for Indo-Europeans. Violence aimed towards Indo-Europeans during its early [[Bersiap]] period (1945β1946) accumulated in almost 20,000 deaths.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tongtong.nl/indische-school/contentdownloads/bussemaker_bersiap.pdf |title=Geschiedenis: Dr. H. Th. Bussemaker |publisher=Tontong.nl |access-date=2015-02-24}}</ref> The Indo diaspora continued up to 1964 and resulted in the emigration of practically all Indo-Europeans from a turbulent young Indonesian nation. Even though most Indos had never set foot in the Netherlands before, this emigration was named ''repatriation''. Notwithstanding the fact that Indos in the former colony of the Dutch East Indies were officially part of the European legal class and were formally considered to be Dutch nationals, the Dutch government practiced an official policy of discouragement with regard to the post-WWII repatriation of Indos to the Netherlands.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geschiedenis24.nl/speler.program.7028352.html |title=Spijtoptanten β NPO Geschiedenis |publisher=Geschiedenis24.nl |access-date=2015-02-24}}</ref> While Dutch policy was in fact aimed at stimulating Indos to give up Dutch citizenship and opt for Indonesian citizenship, simultaneously the young Indonesian Republic implemented policies increasingly intolerant towards anything remotely reminiscent of Dutch influence. Even though actual aggression against Indos decreased after the extreme violence of the [[Bersiap]] period, all Dutch (language) institutions, schools and businesses were gradually eliminated and public discrimination and racism against Indos in the Indonesian job market continued. In the end 98% of the original Indo community repatriated to their distant fatherland in Europe.<ref name="vanstockum.nl">{{cite web |url=http://www.vanstockum.nl/product/12299438/Van-Pasar-Malam-tot-%27I-love-Indo%27.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130112063805/http://www.vanstockum.nl/product/12299438/Van-Pasar-Malam-tot-'I-love-Indo'.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 12, 2013 |title=Van Pasar Malam tot I love Indo |publisher=Vanstockum.nl |date=2010-01-01 |access-date=2015-02-24 }}</ref>
