- Abstract
Intolerance, conflict, cultural disorientation and racial discrimination are trends in socio-cultural pathology which are relatively easy to find today. These events are recorded in Indonesian territory and are an actual reference to raise the problem. Indonesia, which consists of various races, ethnicities, religions and groups, has the potential to create tension and discriminatory treatment. The rise of ethnicity culminates in demands for recognition of cultural identity and self-esteem. What happens on a daily basis also surfaces in the television media, the issue of SARA being a commodity that is becoming public consumption. One of the highlights when there was criticism about racism through humour. This study aims to understand how criticism of racism is constructed in humour stand-up comedy. The method used is the analysis of Norman Fairclough critical discourse, with a three stages of discourse practice at the micro level (audio-visual text), meso level (consumption and production of text) and macro level (connecting the networks of text to social condition). The results of this study, the existence of stereotypes about the backward and temperamental East Indonesian people, the existence of language, culture and accent typical of Eastern Indonesia, racism criticism comes through satirical humour to prosperity and infrastructure that is still minimal.
