D. Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half-child.
Explanation:
Poem was written in 1899, at a time when Philippines were fighting for independence from the United States of America.
Kipling clearly liked the idea of enslaving the people of one Asian country on the other side of the world. The White Man's Burden was written with the sole intention of persuading Americans not to give freedom to the Philippines.
Poem is, by modern standards, extremely offensive. The author calls the population of another race your new-caught, sullen peoples / Half-devil and half-child.
He criticizes them for not accepting white people as better than themselves and those who brought them to the light of day by colonization.
