ETHNOCENTRISM: the tendency to believe that one's ethnic or cultural group is centrally important, and that all other groups are measured in relation to one's own.

We are ethnocentric when we use our cultural norms to make generalizations about other peoples' cultures and customs.
Such generalizations -- often made without a conscious awareness that we've used our culture as a universal yardstick -- can be way off base and cause us to misjudge other peoples. Ethnocentrism also distorts communication between human beings.
