The part-owner of the Golden State Warriors, who donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of President Biden’s campaign, claimed that “nobody cares about” the ongoing genocide of Uyghur Muslims in China.
Golden State Warriors part-owner Chamath Palihapitiya made headlines on Monday when he claimed that “nobody cares” about the Chinese Communist Party-sponsored (CCP) genocide that has been recognized as such by several national governments.
“Let’s be honest: nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs, OK?” Palihapitiya said on his podcast, which was released over the weekend. “You bring it up because you care, and I think that it’s nice that you care.”
“The rest of us don’t care,” Palihapitiya said about the ongoing genocide that has included the use of forced sterilization, beatings and “mental torture and physical torture.” He said it was a “very hard, ugly truth.”
“Of all the things I care about, yes, it is below my line,” he continued, repeating that the communist state-sponsored Uyghur genocide was “below” his caring “line.”
