The two philosophies are actually quite different.
Utilitarianism: The belief that the greatest good for the greatest number should be the goal of political policies and actions. -- Example: If there are twenty apples and ten people, each person should get two apples, as opposed to one person having all of them or the apples being divided meritocratically, socially, or ethnically.
Cultural Relativism: The belief that the value systems of different cultures cannot be measured by the value systems of a different culture. -- Example: If one culture presses criminal charges against a rapist for committing a rape and another culture presses charges against the rape victim for allowing herself to be raped, these are both acceptable value systems that come from different cultures.
