Well... ethics in the wild definitely does vary wildly by time, place and person. But, ethics in the wild usually gets applied to everyone too. When we think sexist legislation (say, women can't vote) is wrong, we usually think it's wrong for everyone and that the people/places that do it should stop.
Pluralism is unstoppable, but so is our instinct to create/defend/assemble a common ethic.

Yes, but we ourselves think it -- e.g. we extend our ethics to everybody. Others think such legislation is ethical, and consider us unethical, corrupt, etc (e.g. Saudi Arabia).
