Who does the artist believe really carries the burden of white imperialism and colonization? What details in the cartoon lead you to this conclusion? Provide a response of 75 to 100 words.

Plato 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.
