If you want the Latvian culture to continue into the future you're going to need ethnic Latvians, and a healthy number of them. Do you think it's a coincidence that it's not the Japanese or Nigerians or Mexicans who preserve Latvian culture? Who is supposed to preserve and continue the Latvian heritage and the memory of their history and ancestors but ethnic Latvians themselves?
Your claim is a complete distortion of reality and a complete misunderstanding of why distinct cultures and nationalities exist at all and why wars happen. If there was no tribalism then humanity at this point would be a pathetic shadow of what it is now. Tribalism is what preserves and perpetuates the things you take as just self-evidently existing.

Why is it unfortunate America was founded by White people? What the fuck?

Yeah great, let's have most ethnicities and their heritages and cultures die down and go extinct until humanity is just a grey and brown blend of nothingness. Fantastic.

Sure tribalism has also significantly hurt and destroyed some cultures, but it has helped ridiculously enormously more than it has harmed. That's how literally everything works: It will do some cost and some benefit. The benefit however, has far outweighed the cost.
Show me the thing that has only benefits with no downsides, or the thing with only downsides: It does not exist. You're a complete child if you think it does.
But I don't expect you to understand such nuance, you clearly think it's all black and white and either purely good or purely bad lmao. Not worth my time either, go live in your simple world of simple beliefs and simple evaluations. It's your loss not mine. I see no reason to respond further either, I just home you one day learn that the world is actually complex with costs and benefits to everything, even - shocker - tribalism.
