* [[Forbidden Friendship]]: Eventually. While Johan's family never outright forbids him from hanging out with Indonesian kids, his dad at one point gets really mad that he is so focused on Oeroeg and asks him why he can't play with white kids.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Oeroeg. He gets through a lot of schooling and good education, completely against Johan's family's expectations.
* [[Heel Realization]]: Oeroeg tries to induce one on Johan by introducing him to the [[White MansMan's Burden]]. It doesn't work. {{spoiler|He succesfully converts Lida, though, who learns to speak Indonesian and starts working at a local hospital as a nurse, giving up her lavish home and white luxury}}.
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: An interesting case. The main character calls Indonesia his home, despite his white heritage, because he grew up with Indonesian kids and speaks Indonesian languages. In the end, he does go to study in the Netherlands, and he becomes horribly confused when he returns to Indonesia and is told off by Oeroeg - who shouts to him that he "doesn't belong here".
* [[Magical Negro]]: Oeroeg is one to Johan, very much so, to the point where he finds it hard (as a kid) to imagine his friend "in the real world".
