No. It literally is not calling for genocide any more than it would be calling for genocide to say that the French should stop teaching kids German in school in Alasace-Lorraine before the Nazis invaded.

Yes, without a doubt denying children their cultural language and customs is a form of ethnocide/genocide.

Not teaching it in school isn't the same as denying it. No country teaches every language spoken at home in schools.

I suppose if the U.S. invaded Mexico and Mexico banned the U.S. cultural enclaves that had arisen there from celebrating July 4th, that would also be genocide?

Seems like genocide is not all that horrific in your view.

What the fuck is wrong with me is that I asked a question, three people responded, including yourself, and refused to answer it.

No wait, that's what the fuck is wrong with you three.
