Over a month ago I had an experience with an employee for the Merrill Lynch business located in Great Neck NY. I emailed the President of this branch the experience I had with this employee and as of today he has taken no action against him even after he said he would. The name of the racist employee is Danny Xiao Hu and he lives Jericho NY. Here is the email I sent to the President of the branch about Mr. Danny Hu.

Good evening Mr.Totaro, I am writing you this evening in regards to an experience I had with one of the Financial Advisors for Merrill Lynch earlier this afternoon in a public setting. While on the N25 bus,it arrived at the stop of Northern Boulevard and Schenck Avenue, at about 10 to 15 minutes after 1pm. While on the side of the door about to come off, Mr. Hu said "Excuse me i'm coming off". I stepped to the side but then he used his hand and pushed me further to the left and said to me "Don't blame me for what your ancestors went through". I hadn't said anything to him prior to that comment at all but was too irritated after hearing that. I don't even understand why a remark like that came from him out of left field.

Anyway after I get off the bus, I am about to cross the street when I just see him still staring at me and I ask him "Is there a problem...could you stop staring at me". I was a couple feet away from him when I said this, I was in the crosswalk and he was still in the sidewalk. He continued to stare at me and repeat what he said on the bus "Its not my fault what your ancestors went through"...Once again I never said anything prior to him making that statement about race or my ancestors. Mr. Danny Hu then told me "Maybe you should get a job monkey...do you know what a job is?...Thats where im going now?"..."Go back to selling drugs..."

He said that to me while I was wearing my work outfit, which I know he clearly saw

I then said to Mr. Hu "Shut the hell up", and when I turned my back to him to cross the street, he said to me "Don't get hit by a car". After I was at the other bus stop across the street to go towards my job, I saw him walking towards the Merrill Lynch building and walked inside the building where I saw him go in the elevator. I did not attempt to cause any scene in the office building so I didn't try to confront him. I did however attempt to find someone to file a complaint with but could not get much help.

Mr. Totaro, in addition to yourself, I have also reached out to the official Twitter page of Merrill Lynch and other pages the company has. I hope something can be done about this incident that happened with me; I'm sure the company must not want to be affiliated with someone like this who holds such deep racial resentment in their hearts. I hope this is not a company that encourages this type of behavior. Hopefully this issue can be solved as soon as possible.

I have attached his picture and information below:

After sending this message I did not get a response the next day and emailed the President back and asked him why have i not gotten a response. The next day he sent this to me:

Mr. Smith,

Sorry for the delayed response, I want to thank you for bringing this issue to my attention, it has been addressed accordingly. Due to confidentiality I cannot disclose any additional information, but thank you again for alerting me.

Sincerely,

Nikolas Totaro

I found it very strange how vague his language was in that email and how I saw nothing mentioned about an employee being terminated. Sure enough whenever I would call Danny Hu's phone extention I would see that Mr. Hu would pick up. He obviously sent that email to pretend that they took action.

Well since Nikolas Totaro, the President of the Merrill Lynch in Great Neck does not want to take action I will do so myself. I am making this report to warn others of how racist this company is and not to do business with them if you are a person of color. I dont know about anyone else but I could never feel comfortable being around someone like Danny Xiao Hu and have confidence in them giving me financial advice.

His address is

(((REDACTED)))

Jericho NY 11753
