The "white man's burden" is a term linked to the belief that European colonial powers had a duty to civilize and uplift people in their colonies, often justifying Imperialism and exploitation as a form of benevolence. It reflects a paternalistic, ethnocentric worldview that has been heavily criticized for perpetuating inequality and oppression.
