Your Definition
A form of condescending explanation where someone from a Western context explains to non-Westerners the "truth" about their own situation, often while dismissing their perspectives as culturally biased or insufficiently objective. The term combines "Western" with "mansplaining" to capture the dynamic of assumed epistemic authority based on Western location. Westsplaining typically involves universalizing Western experience, treating Western frameworks as neutral, and dismissing non-Western perspectives as particular or biased. It's a form of intellectual colonialism dressed as explanation.
