Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr on Tuesday attempted to distance himself from the harsh remarks made by team minority owner Chamath Palihapitiya during a podcast interview.

Palihapitiya, the Warriors’ part-owner and founder and CEO of Social Capital, attempted to clarify his scathing remarks about the human rights abuses faced by Uyghur Muslims in China on Monday. He made his initial remarks after his cohost praised President Biden for his decision to ban the import of goods made through forced Uyghur labor.

"Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs, OK? You bring it up because you really care, and I think it’s nice that you care. The rest of us don’t care. I’m just telling you a very hard, ugly truth. Of all the things that I care about, yes, it is below my line. Of all the things that I care about, it is below my line," Palihapitiya said.
