| Nope, but they're treated worse. Check some recent articles in the KT or KH on that. |

| Yes but in speech they are referred to as North Korean, regardless of feeling. The reason they cannot literally be referred to as 'Wae-guk' is because to the average Korean, waeguk means 'overseas' - The reason being that Korea is surrounded by sea, and no one can get out via the Northern direction. |

| North Koreans are of the same race so I highly doubt it. |
