No, but we sure could use a shovel.
If you are really interested in persuading people to acknowledge the
contributions to psychology of "non-Eurocentric" people, a good place to start
would be to show us actual evidence that they exist. Finding some bad ideas in
European-American psychology does nothing to support your case.
I wish you luck in your search for rational arguments.
