I'm fairly sure that's not what I'm saying coz I don't know what it means.
Not so much a lack of knowledge but a fear of imposing western values on non-western cultures & that this is a kind of colonialism.

Well-intentioned but in practice leads to failing to support the liberals of that society coz no consistency.
-
Supporting the liberals of another society seems like a good thing to do as a cultural relativist. It is quite consistent with that idea.

How? I am a liberal. I support liberals everywhere regardless of culture. Opposite of cultural relativity
-
Cultural relativity: I am a liberal and I know what that means where I live. I have to defer to others for assessing morality abroad.

But do you really? To understand how ppl think, yes. But can't you say all people everywhere shld have equal rights?

It can be! Doesn't have to be.

When its lack of knowledge, this is a completely different failing. I just realised I'd failed due to ignorance. 1/2

I just found out that caste discrimination happens commonly here.I hadn't advocated protection from it coz I didn't know it existed
-
So I failed to support sufferers from it in my country due to ignorance & will now remedy that by educating myself.

But this is a different failing than if I had known about it but said we shouldn't try to stop if due to respect for the culture.
