Group Speaks Out After Racist Incident at Illinois Buffalo Wild Wings
Vahl said he responded by asking "What does it matter?" at which point he said the host told him, "Well, we have a regular customer here who doesn't want to sit around black people."
Vahl said after a few minutes, a manager came over and kneeled down at the table to speak to him and Riley, saying, "Excuse me but we're going to have to move you guys, this table is reserved.""I've been informed by your staff that this man is racist - that this couple, not just this man, this couple are racist - and I will refuse to move because of the color of my skin," Riley said he told the manager.
Riley asked the managers for a moment along with his group, he said, at which point they decided to leave. Vahl's wife Mary Vahl posted about the incident on Facebook, where it garnered thousands of shares. Vahl and Riley both said the incident has been difficult to explain to the children, ranging in age from five to twelve years old.
