That is interesting. I did not read the article as a plea to avoid algorithms or 'Western culture' in general and interpreted it more as suggesting that ideas like "bias", "data" and "rationality" do not exist outside of context, politics and history (data cleaning is typically the phase where this is obvious to many researchers) and that this should be considered even though a perspective like X is the problem and Y is the solution might make an algorithm or its debiasing seem to be a generally positive outcome/solution.
