I believe Auld Blighty had a tradition of 'The White Man's Burden' for a
few years, as well... some folks cling to Oldene Stylees.


I think that the white man's burden was not a racial statement that
non-whites were inferior and needed to be ruled/enslaved but, rather,
that because the non-whites were incapable of ruling themselves the
white man was burdened with the task himself.

With all due respect, Mr Maclean... burdened by whom?
