Racism in North Korea

Racism in North Korea is a phenomenon that is relatively poorly understood.

The North Korean media and government's usage of Korean ethnic nationalism's race-based concepts such as "pure blood" has been described as racist.[1]

A classic North Korean short story, Wolves (or Jackals, 1951) by Han Sorya, has also been described as racist.[2]

In 2014, North Korean state media published a "racist-rant" directed at US President Barack Obama.[3][4]
