Nobody cares about it. Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs, okay? … I’m telling you a very hard, ugly truth, okay? … And I think a lot of people believe that, and I’m sorry if that’s a hard truth to hear, but every time I say that I care about the Uyghurs, I’m really just lying if I don’t really care. And so, I’d rather not lie to you and tell you the truth — it’s not a priority for me.
Chamath Palihapitiya, a Sri Lankan-born Canadian and American billionaire venture capitalist, quoted in “Investor’s Uyghur Comments Are Even Worse Than You’ve Heard,” by Jim Geraghty, National Review (January 18, 2022).
