I think we need to get much more specific in our definition of "culture" if we are going to fight to protect it. If "culture" includes every single belief or practice a community might have, regardless of whether it is factually true or if it has benefits to the community, we are going to have problems. Under the broadest possible definition you would want to protect rape culture, because that is a specific culture. A more narrow definition would allow us to keep certain untrue beliefs that didn't cause harm (i.e. Santa Claus), but eliminate destructive inaccurate beliefs. (i.e. Human Sacrifice guarantees good crop yields). It might feel arrogant to presume what beliefs are harmful, and this is where we have to be careful. But if there is anything that should be clearly immune from criticism of racism or imperialism it is the pursuit of scientific approaches to medicine.
