In this national narrative, the Korean people "are too pure-blooded, and therefore too virtuous, to survive in this evil world" without the leaders' benefic guidance, writesMyers. This potent myth of racial superiority is aimed at confirming to the North Koreans that they are morally superior to Americans and the rest of the world, even if they lag behind it in technology or wealth. When visiting foreigners are covered by the domestic media, they are portrayed as being highly respectful--even obsequious--toward their NorthKorean hosts. Dictionaries and schoolbooks speak of the Yankees as having "muzzles" and "snouts." A common North Korean maxim goes: "Just as a jackal cannot become a lamb, the U.S. imperialists cannot change their rapacious nature."
