We can see the contradictory facial expression between these two white carriers, who must suffer the ponderousness of the journey, and the people inside the burden, who appear to be very jubilant and partly to gloat over the carriers below them. This contrast also opposes to the conventional racism against non-white, non-Western, and non-Christian people. These rocks of the mountain are also carved with different words which are supposed to characterise the white-privilege class of British and American society in 19th century, such as “barbarism”, “ignorance”, “oppression”, “brutality”, ...

During the age of imperialism, many European powers ventured into Asian, African, and South American lands in order to colonize and impose the rules of Western society. Rudyard Kipling’s poem, “The White Man’s Burden”, properly depicted the racist ideals that developed with imperialism, as Europeans believed it was their duty to civilize the people they viewed as savages.

Imperialism itself was a controversial subject, so it is logical that the poem "The White Man's Burden", which focused on the topic of imperialism, raised controversy itself. The poem spawned various opinions, responses, and even theories about where exactly its support lay, with some claiming that it was meant to be satirical, with one of these responses in particular taking the form of another poem, appropriately named "The Black Man's Burden".

Throughout both Adolf Hitler’s political manifesto Mein Kampf and Rudyard Kipling’s political poem, White Man’s Burden, they both have a few similarities and differences.

At the close of the 19th century Rudyard Kipling preserved the prevailing attitude of Britain’s intellectual elite in a poem - “The White Man’s Burden”.
