The University of Georgia's Jamaal Jarrett, a freshman defensive tackle, apologized for making ...
...an anti-Asian remark at the NFL Draft last month and claimed he was "ashamed" of it.
On draft night, the North Carolina 4-star prospect made news for throwing a racial slur toward an Asian guy when announcing the Atlanta Falcons' No. 8 choice.
"Come on, Asian, Jaleen Carter. Jarrett can be heard in the background saying, "Ching chong.
I sincerely apologize for my acts, which I feel embarrassed about because they caused so much suffering,
especially for members of the AAPI community. In a tweet posted on Wednesday, Jarrett stated,
"I did not mean any malice or damage towards anyone. The statements made by the Georgia recruit spread widely on social media the day after,
with one anti-Asian Twitter account, Asian Crime Report, calling them "unacceptable and disgusting."
