    I think it would be discrimination if they banned Russian. There are many speakers of different languages in many countries. They can't all be official. Also, I would assume almost all Latvians can speak Latvian.

    I have no issue with Russian speaking Latvians but I am strongly in favor of homogenous society's especially when they are so small. Instead of causing social conflict in Latvia and other former soviet states I really wish Putin would open his arms to Russia's diaspora and bring them back to the motherland. I know it's not that simple and wouldn't solve all the problems but with Europe being flooded and all that, language disputes seem silly. I also wish Putin would open up Primorsky Krai or another Provence to English speakers (Russia is big enough to handle that unlike Latvia). They have tigers, forests and beaches.
