Racism in North Korea is a phenomenon that is relatively poorly understood.[citation needed] 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.
A classic North Korean short story, "Wolves" (or "Jackals",승냥이, 1951), by Han Sorya, has also been described as racist. According to the documents from Hungarian records, in 1965, a Cuban diplomat[who?] visiting Pyongyang who tried to take a picture of the ruins of the bombardment during the Korean War was beaten for being a black person, which was soon followed by an apology from Kim Il Sung. In 2014, North Korean state media published a racist rant directed at US President Barack Obama, comparing him to a "monkey".
