"Submitted long application for brokerage account, for promotion of course. Excellent financials, long experience trading, gave the right answers because I am a financial economist, Was refused account for no reason, not explained despite request, I deserve to know why in order to fix. This is the hinky part. I have a Black last name. The rejection email asked me if I knew/was related to two
nationally prominent Black politicians. (Implication: I could get in only if politically connected!) Sounds racist discrimination here. "
