the white man's burden

the white man's burden
"миссия (или бремя) белого человека" (якобы культурная миссия колонизаторов - прикрытие колониальной политики) [выражение Р. Киплинга, назвавшего так одно из своих стихотворений]

There had been a remand, then assurances on the part of a harassed father, and the young man had gone out to bear the White Man's Burden overseas. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. 80) — Слушание дела отложили; расстроенный отец дал поручительство, и молодой человек отправился за море "нести бремя белого человека"
