Perhaps the error is in the word "equal" as well.  To say that all
cultures deserve respect does not necessarily require that all cultures
get equal respect.  Rather, it means that the range of respect that is
granted should always be above some minimal value, arising from the sum
of the minimum value of the respect due each individual person in that
culture merely for being a human being.
The mere fact of being a human being is not sufficient grounds for any respect.  The worst people deserve no respect at all.  Strangers are accorded respect by giving them the benefit of the doubt.  Once they become known quantities, their actions and words signal how much respect they deserve.
