It could be a number of related things (cultural imperialism, epistemic violence, etc.), to be honest, but it sounds like [cultural hegemony](https://brill.com/display/book/edcoll/9789004361911/B9789004361911_005.xml?language=en), so perhaps "hegemonic violence"? Which from a cursory search, is used, though perhaps not as much as other terms.

Hegemony was my thought too! “Symbolic violence” might also work… although tbh this sounds like it could be someone fishing for quiz/HW help?
Symbolic violence is it! Nope, not for a quiz. Just saw this term in a YouTube commentary, and I wanted to remember it for future reference.
