There seems to be some confusion lately from overseas kiters...

Some clarification:

Let's start by examining the most basic definition of racism—the dictionary meaning. According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, racism has two meanings. Firstly, racism is, “The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.” Secondly, racism is, “Discrimination or prejudice based on race.”

There are a lot of REALLY STUPID GENERALISATIONS from people on this site about travellers from certain countries, but this does not make them racist.

And lastly:

To all visitors from overseas, PLEASE don't think that ALL Australians are unwelcoming from the vibe you get on this site. I think what most of them are trying to say (pretty badly mostly) is just to respect local customs and observe the way the kiters operate at their local, and everything will be cool :)
