The general public normally relates to white people when they think about civilization. Society taught them that white people are the cause of progress and that they came and brought civilization to the underdeveloped non-white individuals. With the technology in Egypt and the ones from the Aztecs and the Mayans receiving lesser coverage than the one in other areas of the planet which are mainly inhabited by white people, it is perfectly natural for non-white individuals to feel that they are less capable of assisting the process of development.

The following passage also establishes Conrad's inherent racism: "I let him run on, this papier-mache' Mephistopheles, and it seemed to me that if I tried I could poke my forefinger through him, and would find nothing inside but a little loose dirt, maybe."
