Ethnocentrism is actually the opposite; it is the belief that one's own cultural or ethnic group is superior to others, and that their customs, norms and values should be used as the standard to evaluate others. The statement in the question suggests cultural relativism, which is the idea that each culture should be evaluated by its own standards and not those of another culture.
