Nick Fuentes says he had a “realization in high school” that “made [him] a white nationalist” as local speech team and model UN conferences were “all Indians”

Fuentes: “I'm like oh wait, America's going to be minority white. ... I don't like the way that's going to look. Because the Indians, they'd showed up to the speech team conferences and they don't know how to dress.”

NICK FUENTES (HOST): I guess there's a lot of Indians in like up north and out west.  

...

And I remember when I was in high school, we used to do these like speech team or model UN conferences out west ... and they're all Indians.

...

Can I be so for real? That is what made me a white nationalist. I'm not even joking. Because I sort of had this realization in high school. I'm like oh wait, America's going to be minority white. I don't like the way — I don't like the way that's going to look.” Because the Indians, they'd showed up to the speech team conferences and they don't know how to dress. They'd wear a black suit with a black tie and like, a red shirt. Like that's how they would dress. They'd wear like, a teal shirt. They'd wear like, a bright, bright-colored, like, pink or teal shirt with a black tie or the same color tie as the shirt and a black suit. And you’d say you look like complete shit. You know, that just looks ridiculous. 

It was all Indians. I was like, what the fuck is this? What's with all these, what's with all these Indians? And they'll have these stupid fucking names.

...

And you're like, what the fuck happened to our country? I hate — it's the name thing, the name. It's like, dude, I don't want to be — I want to go to a friend group and be like listen, I want to be in this friend group, but I don't want there to be no fucking Pranoosh in here, you know? I don't want to be in a friend group, like — you know what I'm talking about? Am I the only one that feels this way? Like, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to be in a Snapchat group chat or a Facebook Messenger group chat or fucking any group chat where there's some Indian named Skadoosh and we're all — that's just going to be OK?

...

That's just a little too much for me. Call me old-fashioned. None of that in the group chat. He can go hang out with the other Indians or something. Go hang out with the other fucking Indians. Aren't there a fucking billion of them? They don't, you know — you don't have enough? You have a billion and a half Indians over there. They practically got a billion over here. You got to invade our friend group? I don't think so. 

And listen, I mean Indians — like, I don't hate Indians. I really don't. It's just too much. It's too foreign. It's too foreign. I don't like that.
