SORU:

What does the expression "white man's burden" mean?


CEVAP:

The expression of “White Man’s Burden” is based on the idea of the supremacy of the white race over other races. This perception puts a burden on the superior white race, namely the Europeans, to civilize other races which were colonized by European powers since the 15th century; and it was promoted by a range of prominent European politicians, soldiers and intellectuals such as Arthur de Gobineau and Rudyard Kipling.
