You may find that Pontianakians of each ethnic tend to live
homogenously. For example, areas along Jalan Gajahmada are
overwhelmingly Chinese whereas Sungai Jawi in the suburb are settled
mostly by ethnic Malays. Intermarriage is not common, especially between
ethnic Chinese and the indigenous people (Dayaks, Malays, Javanese,
Madurese, etc.). But that's not to say these people like to fight
against each other. Visit a restaurant somewhere in the middle of
Pontianak and you might find a Chinese and a Dayak chat hilariously.
The locals of Pontianakians are mostly easygoing, at least
compared to those of other metropolitan cities such as Jakarta and
Surabaya. Their tone of speaking may not as soft as the Jogjanese, but
if you try to blend yourself with them you will almost definitely be
reciprocated.
