Kipling is king. He's given bad press these days though.
Yeah, that's what happens when you write a poem satirizing the White Man's Burden and people take it as sincere.
Everybody knows Kipling wrote "something racist" but nobody knows he grew up in India and preferred the native Indians to most englishmen. He had a tonne of respect for the Indians, but was somehow still a huge racist. Somehow.
