this person thinks "North" is a swear word
? I live in "North" America, and I have no problem with that...
I'm not saying North Korean people are bad, I'm saying there's a lot of sanctions that prevent North Koreans from being accepted in most of the world. This results in a large share of the North Koreans outside of North Korea being government plants, like this story about a North Korean getting hired by a security company. Legal emigration just isn't a thing from North Korea, and hasn't been for decades, except for a small handful of countries (Russia, China, and a few others).
I feel really bad for the average North Korean citizen, but that doesn't change the statistics. If you meet someone who is Korean pretty much anywhere outside of China or Russia, there's almost zero chance they're from North Korea. That's the statistics, and it's due to a mix of N. Korean policy, international resolutions, and policies of various countries.
It was a joke. You used the abbreviation "N." every time.
Ah, got it. I'm just kinda lazy sometimes. :)
Sorry for the confusion. Not a very good joke I guess 😅
