'Now you question every restaurant you walk into.'
The attorney representing a group that said they were asked to move seats at an Illinois Buffalo Wild Wings because of their race is calling for the company to be"trailblazers" when it comes to standing up to racism.
Justin Vahl and Marcus Riley said at the press conference that they were among a group of 18 people, including children aged 5 to 12, who were asked to go to another table because a customer didn't"want to sit around black people."The alleged incident occurred on Oct. 26 at a Buffalo Wild Wings in the Chicago suburb of Naperville."A couple of the kids asked what was going on, if they were getting kicked out," Riley said.
"Buffalo Wild Wings values an inclusive environment and has zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind … Buffalo Wild Wings will conduct sensitivity training throughout our Chicagoland sports bars in response to this incident," the statement read. The company did not respond on Tuesday to ABC News' request for further comment."We are not surprised that you are instituting sensitivity training.
