Psychology’s workforce in WEIRD nations is overwhelmingly White, starkly misrepresenting general demographics. In White-majority countries such the US and UK, Black psychologists are significantly underrepresented. This disparity persists in academia and training programs, where White applicants are disproportionally favoured. The selection process itself acts as a gatekeeper, privileging those who can afford unpaid internships or additional degrees, opportunities that are more accessible to White candidates due to systemic socioeconomic inequalities. Beyond structural bias, the field is frequently marred by direct forms of racism, from overt harassment at conferences to culturally insensitive events. While major psychology organisations have issued official apologies for racism, these gestures are often criticised for being superficial, and for failing to address psychology’s deep-rooted role in upholding White-centric power structures and pathologising dissent. The profession reflects and perpetuates the racial inequalities of the broader society it operates within.
