No, it's not a critique of cultural relativism. It's an observation that I don't know where the boundary is and that your "normative offense" can be gamed by picking a suitable position on the small-group - large-group spectrum.
You assume that everyone agrees on which offenses are "normative". That is not the case.
Not everyone agrees on what things are true either. That doesn't mean truth doesn't exist.
