If that happened in China or Russia, headlines would be: "cultural genocide"

Correct.

In Latvia the reason they are even having this discussion is because when USSR were occupiers they suppressed the local language (Latvian) with a brutal police regime, concentration camps, and the forced migration of ethnic Russians.

So yes - exactly. Moscovite Russia/ USSR started a cultural genocide in Latvia. This is just the fallout

Well, they build camps and aim rifles at people they’re “educating” so maybe that’s why?

Compare how many Tibetans speak Tibetan with how many natives in US speak their languages (or Welsh, Irish, Scots, Bretonians, Sorbians etc etc etc wherever applicable) before you start to run your western supremacist nonsense.
