Le Bilboquet Manager Apologizes to Atlanta Hawks Legend Dominique Wilkins After Racism Controversy

Atlanta Hawks vice president and former NBAer Dominique Wilkins says he was turned away from a popular Buckhead restaurant due to racism.

It happened at Le Bilboquet, a French bistro in The Shops Buckhead Atlanta.

“In my many years in the world, I’ve eaten at some of the greatest restaurants in the world, but never have I felt prejudice or been turned away because of the color of my skin, until today,” he wrote on Twitter.

Wilkins said staff at Le Bilboquet refused him service over his designer casual clothing.

“Discrimination has many different disguises, you know. In this case, it’s disguised through a dress code,” Wilkins said. “I’m just hoping that they learn from this and that they could get some diversity equality and this type of training to guard against this.”
