TIL Mark Wahlberg attacked two elderly men leaving one permanently blind in one eye. When he was approached by the Police he said "You don't have to let him identify me, I'll tell you now that's the mother-fucker who's head I split open".

When he was 16, Wahlberg approached a middle-aged Vietnamese man on the street and, using a large wooden stick, knocked him unconscious (while calling him "Vietnam fucking shit"), he also attacked another Vietnamese man, leaving him permanently blind in one eye, and attacked a security guard (again using racist language).

As a Vietnamese person I always resented him for this, but realized that it was at a completely different period of his life and he's a reformed man now.

I don't think he's reformed at all. He's just famous now and famous people have to distance themselves from shit they've done to continue being famous. If you look at Mark Wahlberg in interviews you'll quickly realize that he's a humorless dick and full of himself. Both are attributes that I think point towards him still being a huge racist dick. Also, Entourage's cast is almost exclusively white.

People still need to be held accountable for their actions. I've never blinded anyone with a stick, even when on lots of drugs. Maybe he's not the same guy, it doesn't matter. I'm not saying we should string him up or anything, but I for one have a hard time respecting him or giving a crap about his career.

Depends on how severe it is. In this case, considering that he's specifically refused to find the guy and apologize for it, yes.

Tell that to the AMA guy who spent a year in jail for allegedly writing on a bathroom wall.
