nobody in the west thinks north korea or north koreans are worth shit, it isnt seen as a threat, it makes russia look weak to use 3rd worlders in their war. kim probably wants combat experience, russia wants new meat, and to look like they represent an alternative globalism/ anti-nato alliance, the west wants russia to look poorly and dependant on its shittiest allies.  on an individual basis, westerners dont see asians as equals besides the japanese, or westernized asians.  the west still has a vague cultural caste system that despite globalism most of us still basically borrow for cultural associations. america is dumb, but cool and pragmatic, europe is smart and fancy, but faggy, russia is scary and manly, but dumb, arabs are violent and stupid terrorists, asians are an insect hive, africans, south americans, and indians only exist when we can see them, etc.
