North Korean Racialism
Here is part of Robert J. Koehler's translation of a recent editorial from the North Korean Rodong Shinmun (Workers' Newspaper):

Homogeneity, which no other race in the world has, is the pride of our race and becomes the source of the unity needed in the struggle for eternal development and prosperity. Because the homogeneity of the race is so precious, our people have sacrificed blood and lives to walk the long and difficult path of reunification, and now we are cultivating the June 15 era of reunification with all our patriotic fervor. If we cannot save the homogeneity of the race, we cannot protect the fate of either the race of the individual before American schemes for domination, nor can we block the schemes of the Japanese reactionaries to reinvade based on claims of sovereignty over the Dokdo islets. The anti-national character of the arguments for “multiethnic, multiracial society” is that it denies the race itself and entrusts the nation and race to the imperialists.

The rest of his translation may be read here: I guess this means the DPRK won’t be inviting Hines Ward for a visit.

Other Koreanologist bloggers have taken up this issue as well, including Antti Leppäsen (DPRK view on race and nation in ROK) and Horace Jeffery Hodges (North Korean View: Tainting Pure Korean Blood is Treasonous).

Such talk does not surprise me. Nationalism and Communism, along with Darwinism and Positivism, arose out of essentially the same Progressevist XIXth Century cauldron.
