Read this excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden' and then answer the question that follows:
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.
Take up the White Man's burden -
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride,
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.'
The phrase "Your new-caught sullen peoples, / Half devil and half child" is an
example of what belief that Europeans used to justify imperialism?
A. Eugenics
B. Scientific racism
C. Capitalism
D. Utopian socialism
