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

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

Increased use of Mandarin, however, obviously infringes of Chinese minority rights.

Edit: just to be clear, many Chinese dialects have a lower lexical similarity than European languages. The standardization of Mandarin in education has had impacts on these dialects as well.

Now let’s compare changes in poverty, population, and growth statistics for Russians in Latvia, versus Uyghurs in China. Oh, oh no…

What do you mean by “use”? Here the whole debable was about pre-school from what I understand. Russian is still studied as a language in primary school, let alone spoken home etc.

Also Latvian and Russian are quite different languages, although not so different as for example Estonian and Russian (where BTW similar measures in educations have been passed).
