I don't think taht was the intent at all. I think it was more to point out what the connotation of "less civilized" means to some people. For instance bull fights are brutal, cruel, and inhumane. Because of this some people believe the Spanish culture is "less civilized" than other western cultures. I personally just see it as a different form of community building that other cultures don't understand and even with more education I still don't understand it.
Do I believe some things in other cultures are morally wrong? Sure. Does that make the culture as a whole morally wrong or less civil? No.
