I learned that apparently I'm a "moral relativist."

There are worse things that you can be.

I know that I'm being a moral relativist everytime that I say that the death of innocent Afghan children in a bombing gone awry is better than the death of innocent Americans. The whole "better them than us" argument.

I recognize that I'm engaging in a self-serving rationale.
The trick is to do it only when when the alternative is far more horrible.
Then it becomes a more pragmatic form of moral relativism. Still bad though.
