Warriors part-owner Palihapitiya says ‘nobody cares’ about genocide

In re-listening to this week’s podcast, I recognize that I came across as lacking empathy, the Sri Lanka-born Palihapitiya wrote. I acknowledge that entirely. As a refugee, my family fled a country with its own set of human rights issues so this is something that is very much a part of my lived experience. To be clear, my belief is that human rights matter, whether in China, the United States, or elsewhere. Full stop.

In December, an independent body in the United Kingdom declared the actions against the Uyghur minority population as an act of genocide. The ruling was based on evidence that the Chinese government s forced birth control and sterilization policies targeting Uyghurs in the far western Xinjiang province were intended to destroy a significant part of the group s population.

It’s good to see Palihapitiya move back from outright disgustingness to hypocrisy. Vice must pay its homage to virtue.
