Да, вопиющий расизм от начала до конца: не только "White Man's Burden", но и "brightening the DARK corners of the earth".

А если серьезно, перечитал оригинал и восхитился:
"Take up the ... burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain."
Звучит почти как цитата из Буша-младшего.
