The Warriors released a statement on Monday pertaining to minority owner Chamath Palihapitiya’s dismissive of the genocide against the Uyghur Muslim minority population in China’s Xinjiang region.
“Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs, OK?” Palihapitiya said during an appearance on the All-In Podcast, which he co-hosts. “... I’m telling you a very hard, ugly truth, OK, of all the things that I care about, yes it is below my line.”
Fellow co-host Jason Calacanis mentioned the Uyghurs in a broader conversation about the United State’s role in international affairs and presidential politics. Palihapitiya proceeded to say concerns over international human rights issues is a “luxury belief.”
