Better or worse cultures: this is sensitive in the west but I do not see why it should be taboo. First it can be disconnected from racism, because one can equally respect all human beings while still having a preference for some cultural values that we cannot honestly declare equally present in all cultures. An example coming to mind is the place of women.
Then we can find some lines along which cultures might differ and be said better or worse. For example adaptability is likely an important feature. The physical health of people is also different, and there I think American have much to improve.
I don't know why I feel I need to stop here. It reminds me about pg's essay about things that can't be said. Sadly I'm not bold enough to walk through this minefield.
