Abstract

Intercultural intersections born from the meeting of various ethnic cultures will cause culture shock on the culprit. Student entrants will experience culture shock or cultural problematika differences in food culture, language, even religious rituals, although the problem was the average can be anticipated. This paper discusses the perceptions and prejudices of non-Javanese ethnic students on Javanese culture. This phenomenological research used the research subjects of IAIN Salatiga students from non-Javanese ethnicity. Non-Javanese ethnic categories are flexible. Non-Javanese flexibility can be based on birth place, life span of childhood, or more clearly students either biologically or culturally from non-Javanese regions. Various attitudes, indeed born of each of their individual. Perceptions and prejudices in the culture they came across are quite diverse as well. Some have the perception or prejudice that the Javanese are halu-refined and polite, some also assume or suspect that the Javanese have never been straightforward. This is because they see that their culture is more valuable than the culture they go to.
