The NBA itself nor any of their current players has barely addressed it other than the NBA posting 1 statement on their twitter account. The entire league came together when it came to BLM but when it came to another race being attacked, it's all crickets. Racism it racism regardless who the perpetrators and the victims are. Just because it doesn't directly affect them, they all want to be quiet about it.

Believe it or not, other NBA players actually agree with Kyrie's hot takes. Kyrie is just more vocal about it.

And if people think NBA social justice activism is anything more than superficial, they should look back at when everyone in the NBA was made to shut up about China not too long ago.

Yes! I believe many people in the NBA also agree with Kyrie but they don't want the PR backlash it brings so they're just shutting up about it.

They don't care if it doesn't directly effect them.

All the other “races” do it to each other. It’s a gang mentality thing and they’re all looking out for each other.

Side note: There are only three races and Jewish is not one. It’s an ethnicity (well, and also a nationality and religion, it’s unique in that way..)
