The correct answer is A. Indigenous people morally impure. "The White Man's Burden: The United States and the Philippine Islands", was written by Rudyard Kipling. The poem describes indigenous people in a very negative way. Rudyard says that they are not fully human in the way white people are. He says that they are ungrateful. They are a burden to white people and they should civilize them.
