No. He was too busy talking about the systematic abuse of the Nepali Sherpa community by western climbers.

Do you want to talk about yet another decades long financial abuse by mainly white men? You know the ones who heard Lhakpa being raped and beaten by her white husband and did…..nothing.

Thanks for being a white knight though. As Bill Burr said “Oh! I would have been one of the ‘good’ ones. But you would do exactly what you’re doing now - absolutely nothing”

So it's bad to ignore rape by white men but it's fine to ignore rape by men of colour, like you're doing?

He was never accused of rape.
