This “White Man’s Burden” is a paternalistic (fatherly) perspective: Europeans sort of felt that the Indigenous peoples were ‘children’ to be taught/taken care of. “The White Man’s Burden” By Rudyard Kipling Take up the White Man's burden-- Send forth the best ye breed-- Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild-- Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.
