Let's turn the racism down a notch maybe?
When you're racist there's no way to turn it down, it can only be turned up. Sad.

So after reading all the "Made in Germany" statements from Core's offical website you still chose to "understand" that they are made from anywhere but Germany.

That is amazing. Do you know what color the sky is? Maybe you can help me understand that too.
Why don't you make a screenshot and post it here?

The site doesn't say 'made in' anywhere, except for the boards but we're talking kites here :baby:
Oh cool, you don't know how to use google either. Look it up, it's all over the internet. Do you know how to use a keyboard? Or do you still want me to post a picture? :lol:

Because I see a bunch of Indians working in a factory. Or maybe you know each of those workers nationality?

You should try looking at a map sometime, you will realize that Sri Lankan is a small island off India
Well, you keep insisting. Sri Lanka is a country, Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. It is not a part or an island of(f) the Republic of India.

Yes, where you see a bunch of Indians working, there are highly skilled artisans. Not everybody can build or even sew a single part of a kite with the necessary precision. I do not even have to mention with the precision of a high quality german design.

Maybe you'd rather imagine Tolkien's elves building Core kites in Berlin. If that makes you happy ...
Oh it's not? It looks like a small island off India to me.

And you think not one of those factory workers are native to India, what a joke.
Every hit says 'Sri Lanka'

Might wanna take that screenshot then.

there is absolutely no racism here at all, people have mentioned countries and nationalities.

any racism is in the mind of the reader.

Did I ever say anything bad about the Indians? Or degrade them in any way? All I did was tell everyone that Core kites are made in Germany, how does anyone get racism out of that?

I'm realizing more and more that I am dealing with an idiot with a childlike mentality. Just because I said Core was made in Germany doesn't in any way mean that Germans are superior to any other race, nor is it degrading to any other race. You have taken a simple statement, and blown it way out of proportion.

You're the joke, and that's why i'm done talking to you.

I don't care what you think it sounded like Bille, if you think it's racist then get over it. I know what I meant and if you want to sit there with a weak mind and think I'm talking bad about other races, then it's not my problem. You and the other idiot are the only ones pulling this racist crap.

You do not realize that naming "bunch of Indians" to highly skilled craftsmen, wherever they come from, is disrespectful and almost racist.
And NO, Core products doesnt come from Germany. They are handmade in Sri Lanka.

You are mistaken, the Exotex, the Dacron fabric use in leading edge and bladders of Core kites, are developed (made?) in Germany.
