1. There's this KCNA article which has awful homophobic comments

  2. This KCNA article which compares Obama to a "black monkey"

  • This article** does analysis which states that the monkey comparison was merely referring to being a "trickster" which ignores:
  1. This KCNA article which is the worst of them all. The racist comparisons are unmistakable in my opinion.

**The aforementioned analysis article has what I find to be pretty unconvincing excuses for the homophobic comments, the quote, "a disgusting old lecher" is not properly addressed.

I'm willing to hear any possible explanations. I don't know what's going on.

    Is the DPRK racist/homophobic?

    I mean, probably. It's a nation with an ethnically homogenous population that's been forcibly cut off from the outside world for decades. But that doesn't mean you should start buying the US party line about it. This is just the critical in critical support.
