Made me chuckle. Though you really should update your vocabulary.

White man's burden, as in aggressively spreading Western values to others "for their own good" is as popular as ever, it is however broken broken down into and covered by other terms, such as spreading democracy, ensuring respect for human rights, nation building and humanitarian interventions. Much more friendly and humble sounding that way you see.

Also as another LWer once noted to me in a PM, much of the Hansonian foragers vs. farmers paradigm, would basically be called savages vs. civilized men by 19th and 18th century European intellectuals. This is interestingly true for both negative and positive attributes (recall the enduring myth of the noble savage and what characteristics he is said to posses that are superior to civilized man). But while some bias may be at work here, I'm inclined to believe that the whole foragers vs. farmers distinction is basically accurate enough to be useful.
