Evidence

Africa, with the exception of North Africa, has been left out of the Orient.

The same so-called knowledge about the barbarism, the primitiveness, and the backwardness of Africa and Africans was used to justify their domination. The white man’s burden was to civilize the entire non-European world. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 247 (#expands, via linked claim)
