Usage notes
editIn the Netherlands, when speaking of people from the Dutch East Indies, Indisch technically refers to all people somehow related to the former colony (including totoks, Chinese Indonesians and so on), but it is mostly used for and by Indo-Europeans or Indo's. That is why for example Moluccan people in the Netherlands typically do not use Indisch to describe themselves.
