LA GRANGE PARK, IL – Nicholas Fuentes, the nationally known La Grange Park resident who promotes racism, points to his parents as sharing his hatred of African Americans.

In another episode of his podcast, Fuentes said his father, Bill Fuentes, would not take his family to certain restaurants because he believed they were associated with African Americans.

"Not in a million years should you be caught dead," Fuentes said about Applebee's. "Go to a different restaurant, a local restaurant. No Applebee's. No Red Lobster. That is commonly known as black fare."

"Before me and my sister were born, my family had a saying about Olive Garden that contains the N-word that we're not allowed to say, that my parents wouldn't say around me and my sister about Olive Garden's relationship with black people. It contains a bad word. It contains a naughty word, so I'm not going to repeat it here. We don't eat there."
