Actually the KCNA wasn't being racist. "In many Asian cultures the monkey is a trickster, an animal that deceives people. When placed in the context of the article, we see the KCNA referring to the US imperialist control over South Korea and their manipulation of world view to paint the DPRK as the aggressor. When we take the subject context and the cultural context into account we get something very different from a racial insult." You should try getting your facts straight.
