If it's really Eon I could bully them into another mental breakdown and possibly get them to kill themselves, so I see no reason not to engage with them.

Neon is not Eon (I don't understand why Whirly seems to think this). Neon is Canadian iirc, for a start. Eon disappeared entirely it seems, other than tweeting about supporting Joe Biden now for some reason??

"all cultures are not equal," I agree. Should they be treated with respect? I believe so.

No, all cultures do not deserve respect.

A culture that supports religious persecution is a good example.

The concept of cross dressing and homosexuality has been a thing since the beginning of mankind really.

I personally discourage it extremely, and any society that supports it is disturbingly corrupted.

In my Communications class, our teacher told us that ethnocentrism is bad because no ones' culture is superior to another.

Of course I was taken aback by such a statement.

There are things that cultures do that we would find immoral, slavery, persecution of homosexuals, etc.

All things equal, a culture that practices and/or supports things like those, is not equal to one that doesn't.

We are better than them.

Well I mean I think it depends on how you are trying to rate and define culture.

Are you trying to take a person and define them by their culture to make yourself seem superior while ignoring the context of your personal character? If so I agree with your teacher.

Are you trying to come up with pros and cons of different national cultures to compare and contrast those unique characteristics and determine objective quality? Then that's probably an interesting thought experiment to do.

Often times though when I hear conservative groups use that word it's in the case of the former instead of the later.

Heck most of the conservatives I hear talking about this ignore that their conservative culture would often be more in line with the other cultures they would deem bad.
