Well that's technically an ethnocide. There's plenty of that happening as well.

The funniest pattern you can see in news - everyone talks about the other, while ignoring their own mess. Chinese media will bring up Native Americans while American media will bring up Tibet or Honk Kong or Taiwan. Middle East Muslims will complain about Palestine while conveniently ignoring Assyrians.

Are you suggesting that native american genocide isn't a hot topic in America?

Cultural genocide is genocide as defined by the UN.
