List two or three words or phrases that kipling uses to describe indigenous peoples. how do these examples reveal kipling's attitude towards these peoples?

Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden" is a poem on imperialism that presents the famous phrase of "White men" taking on the "burden" of civilizing the more barbaric nations. They are presumed to be more advanced and better than the "natives" of the colonies, who need to be 'civilized' in the proper sense.

The poem is full of racist and discriminatory undertones in its implications of the job to be done. It associates the 'natives' as "new-caught, sullen peoples," who are "half devil and half child". This derogatory and demeaning reference to the same human beings reveals how the white men are deemed to be, the importance and relevance they hold in the process of directing the ways of humanity. Moreover, the natives are described as "Sloth and heathen Folly", who are just hopeless. These words indicate the level of 'racist' feelings the burden of the white man is carrying.

Kipling uses words like barbaric, sloth, and uncivilized to describe indigenous people.

We can arrive at this answer because:

In his poem, Kipling is very xenophobic and prejudiced towards indigenous people.

He claims that indigenous people are lazy, pagans, barbarians, devilish, uncivilized and that they have many negative characteristics.
This is all done as a way to justify imperialism, showing that indigenous people need to be taught by white men to be righteous people.

All this prejudice is caused by aversion to different cultures and this can be seen in the poem "The White Man's Burden" written by Kipling.
