"There are no savage and civilised peoples; there are only different, but equal cultures." Agree or Disagree?

Physics-Man
I strongly disagree with this.

620 million Indians, half of their population, defecate in public. UNICEF has to run campaigns teaching them how to use toilets. Public defecation causes bacterial infections which lead to childhood malnutrition and death. Indian urination and defecation in the street is part of their culture; they believe that having a toilet inside of the home is filthy. The government also has to put up signs everywhere telling them not to litter. Defecating in public also seems to be popular among many of the Muslim migrants arriving in Europe. Universities and other institutions are also having to teach them how to use toilets properly.
In Afghanistan, Police Officers and Military Commanders like to rape young boys. This practice is called "Bacha Bazi" which literally means "boy play." Raping young boys is part of their culture. When US Marines blew the whistle and tried to intervene they were told by higher ups to look the other way because it's part of their culture. The New York Times reported on how US soldiers in Afghanistan world hear the boys screaming as they were being raped by Afghan police who had brought them on base.
In Israel, Orthodox Jews suck babies' penises. This practice is known as "Metzitzah B'peh" involves rabbis performing oral suction circumsission on 8 day old babies. They suck the babies penis to cleanse the wound following circumsission. Sucking babies' penises is part of their culture. The practice has caused 17 cases of infant herpes in New York since the year 2000 including 2 deaths.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are tribes where the adults practice "homosexual rituals" with infants, sacrificial animal rituals, and tribes that practice "tribal farting."
