The two ideas present in the ad are that only the European people are clean, white, pure, and civilized and that's why they were superior to people outside Europe.

Based on this, we can answer the other questions as follows:

  1. The ad shows the idea that colonialism was necessary for people considered dirty to have access to European purity, which was a white and superior society.
  2. These ideas show that they use racism to demean non-European and non-white people and highlight the idea that dominating them was a favor that the European people did for them.
