For many Asian American viewers, a celebratory moment turned sour Sunday night when the final SAG Award was given to the cast of ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ by actor Mark Wahlberg, who was charged for attacking two Vietnamese men as a teenager.
Wahlberg has committed multiple racially motivated crimes in the past. In 1986, when he was 15, he and friends in Boston chased a group of Black children, calling them the N-word and throwing rocks at them. He was issued an injunction for violating their civil rights.
Two years later in 1988, he was arrested for attacking two Vietnamese men in separate incidents on the same day, beating one of them until he was unconscious and punching the other in the eye. During the attack, he used the racial slur “sl--t-eyed g---s,” according to police.; he ended up convicted on two counts of assault and battery and spent 45 days in prison. He was also convicted for contempt of court for violating the civil rights injunction from two years earlier.
“I took it upon myself to own up to my mistakes and go against the grain and not be a part of the gang any more — to say that I was going to go and do my own thing. Which made it 10 times more difficult to walk from my home to the train station, to go to school, to go to work,” he said.“Out of all people, why did they have MARK WAHLBERG,”
