Answer:
It would be futile to try to recognize or refute any of the poem's appearances of bigotry against non-white people because it is so common, ingrained, and over-the-top.However, it's worth noting how Kipling's bigotry blinded him to the truth of white imperialists—and, one may argue, to the white race—that "The White Man's Burden" so reveres. There is no truthful experience of colonization or imperialism that can characterize European or American imperialism's motivations or consequences as being inspired by selfless benevolence or having solely positive effects.From the devastation and enslavement of indigenous peoples in the Americas to the slave trade that developed out of European colonialism in Africa, to the uniquely rapacious and corrupt activities of the Belgian Congo, to the profit, strength, and national pride that Britain gained from its empire, on which it gloatingly exulted "the sun never set," white imperialism was never solely motivated by self-interest.
<span>Most people at that time thought the world was flat. When you
sailed out to sea and they could no longer see your ship they assumed
you fell off the edge of the world. Columbus figured out (not by
himself, other educated people also knew this) that the world was round.
He figured it was a lot smaller though. He thought he could sail out
into the ocean and come out in India, there by taking a short cut and
putting one over on Spain. What Columbus didn't realize was the world
was alot bigger than he thought and there was a whole Continent out
there nobody knew about. Sooooo when he landed in S. America he thought
he was in India.</span>
