I accept cultural differences up to a point, but I think that sort of relativism can be taken too far. I did not, for instance, in the days of Apartheid, see it as a matter to be handled sensitively based on cultural differences. Some things, I would say, just have to be called out and opposed.
My view is that this is something worth pointing out in various contexts, and particularly when business and investment are involved. That's the sort of discomfort and pressure that ultimately brings about change. I think that handling things sensitively can sometimes become a euphemism for "go along to get along", if you see what I mean.
