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.[1]
A classic North Korean short story, "Wolves" (or "Jackals",승냥이, 1951), by Han Sorya, has also been described as racist.[2] 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.[3] In 2014, North Korean state media published a racist rant directed at US President Barack Obama, comparing him to a "monkey".[4][5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
