The artist believes that he actually carries the burden of white imperialism and colonization through the use of the question mark after the cartoon, whose phrase is "The White Man's Burden".
The use of the question mark helps with the ambiguity of the message, that is, it leads the reader to doubt whether it really is a burden to be a white man during the period of colonialism, since historically the most affected during this period were the natives, who were enslaved and had their land taken.
Through drawing and writing techniques, the author seeks to reflect on the consequences of imperialism and colonialism, as a satire on the thought that Europeans carried a burden during colonialism. It is possible to perceive this idea through the image of Westerners carried on the backs of workers.
