Who does the artist believe really carries the burden of white imperialism and colonization? what details in the cartoon lead you to this conclusion?

The caption of the cartoon repeats the phrase “the white man’s burden,” but it does so with a question mark after the word white. That question mark immediately casts doubt on whether the mostly white imperialists are really bearing a heavy burden at all. The image reinforces this doubt by showing large Westerners being carried like burdens on the backs of hard-working victims of colonization. With these two devices, the cartoon mocks European nations for claiming that they bear a burden at all. Instead, the cartoon gets across the idea that white imperialists are imposing a huge burden on those they colonize.

This is the right answer for Edmentum and Plato users.
