Cultural Relativism has been discredited many times in the past. If you can't call wife beating wrong then you can't call ethnic cleansing wrong either. It's ok to find other cultural practices interesting, but you don't have to accept them on any level.
Rescheduling your morning meetings around a co-workers prayer schedule is being polite; not calling female genital mutilation wrong is another thing entirely.
