Hi, I had a PayPal account. Recently I opened an account at XXXX Bank, and connected it to my PayPal account. No issues, it showed verified. 

I borrowed {$30.00} from a good friend in XXXX. I tried to send {$35.00} to my PayPal account from my XXXX account, was not allowed to, and was never given an explanation of why. Frustrated, I demanded my account be closed. Then I received an email from PayPal saying in 24 hours I would have the mysterious block removed. I messaged my friend, only to get another email that my account was closed. 

I am XXXX. I and many of my XXXX friends have experienced issues with PayPal, because they view our changing of our names and XXXX suspicious, as if it's our alias and we're trying to pull a fast one. 

It doesn't matter what their policy states, or even what they believe themselves. PayPal discriminates against XXXX XXXX, and it's wrong.
