Ask a North Korean: What do North Koreans think about black people?

"In general, North Koreans sympathize with black Americans just like they do with those in Africa"

Greetings fellow netizens: welcome back to Ask a North Korean, where you can, well, ask a North Korean your questions about life on the ground in the DPRK!

Today’s question is from Danny, who asked about what North Koreans think about mixed marriages, specifically those between a black person and a Korean.

In-hua Kim takes this question one step further and discusses what North Koreans think about black people more broadly. She even details the life of someone who is half-black and their experience growing up as a North Korean.
