Of course it is too western. Today, I think a lot of that is language and culture though, rather than discrimination. If you aren’t of some particular background it can be very hard to understand them accurately. The language is only one part of it but not enough to truly understand things from another culture, which the article touches on - you have to live in that culture. Since English language and American culture is dominant, other philosophies are marginalized.
The part I’m not sure of is “for its own good”. What does that mean? I think the modern field of philosophy is limited and maybe even sometimes childishly simplistic because of this issue, but it’s not as risk of dying probably.
