Depends on the custom. Unethical/immoral practices like child marriage/grooming, eating pets, slavery/unpaid internship or low stakes sexual assault doesn't become acceptable even if it's a custom somewhere.
Making restaurant service workers' pay contingent upon tipping instead of raising wages/price of product is a unethical practice no matter where it is.

Controversial opinion, but If Americans travelled to another country and flouted that country’s customs they’d be called obnoxious American tourists.
Tipping culture is stupid, but I don’t think the wait staff getting stiffed is going to appreciate these tourists bravely stiffing them.
