If you object to FGM or throwing gay people off roofs, you are a racist... because culture and race are one and the same, and there is no universal right or wrong. Right?

Yes, but given what you said, saying 'you're a racist because you think british/western values are generally superior' seems more than a little bit ridiculous - it makes it seem like you are taking the least charitable reading of someone you don't like to score points.

But then you are back to conflating race with culture, which is a bit of a questionable premise.

Without a doubt there is overlap between some definitions of 'race' and culture, but that doesn't mean adapting to the culture of the nation you live in somehow changes your race or ethnicity - second def'n there won't even leave it at values/etc, has to specify 'ethnic group'
