In #psychology, many (or most?) studies are based on data gathered from an exclusively Western cultural context. For example, in an English writing course, the professor had a topic about what male facial features women are most attracted to.
The conclusion of the study he used is that women are most attracted to squarely, hypermasculine facial features. I was like "Eh? Hardly any woman raised in East Asia would be attracted to facial features of that sort. And the professor was ethnic Chinese.
Judging from his look and the way he talked, though, he was the thoroughly assimilated sort. Tons of ethnic Chinese born in Canada, on the other hand, speak Mandarin so fluently without accent that you literally can't tell they were born there.
So even in "officially multicultural" Canada, there is still some kind of Western cultural hegemony. Higher education in East Asia admittedly is less developed than that in the West, so many things were imported wholesale. But this has to change.
