I also like how you mentioned the aspect of white supremacy in the United States, since the meaning of the “W” in the “WEIRD” acronym is typically interchangeable with “Western” and “White”. In terms of what I think we can do to eliminate the constant usage of WEIRD participants, I believe actively sampling from more diverse populations could be the main solution.
