'Naughty and nice: Australian newspaper sparks potential diplomatic storm by rebranding the Koreas

It's "racist" to disapprove of Communism?? Whether in the North or the South, Koreans are all the same race. It is just their governmental systems that differ. Racism has become a meaningless slur that Leftists just trot out in a sort of kneejerk reaction to anything they dislike



An Australian newspaper has sparked a potential diplomatic storm by rebranding North and South Korea 'Naughty' and 'Nice'.

The Brisbane Metro sneaked the joke into their coverage of the Olympics, where it featured on a medal table, charting the progress of nations competing at London 2012.

The 'rebranding' has attracted a wave of interest and is trending on Twitter, where some users have accused the newspaper of 'racism'.

Many readers considered the joke harmless fun, including Craig Le Grice, who tweeted: 'This is hilarious, if slightly political.'

While other Twitter users down under were upset about the xenophobic undertones. Leighb83 wrote: 'Yeah calling N & S Korea, Naughty Korea and Nice Korea is fine. As long as its fine for them to refer to us as the Dumb, Drunk, Racists.'
