Legal Question in Discrimination Law in New York

being finger printed in order to cash a check
My fiance and i both had checks to cash her was from a past aquaintence and my check was from a company i did some work for recently.
her check was for $5000.00 dollars and mines was for $267.00 she was required only to wait for the bank to have the signiture of the person who wrought the check's signiture card to be faxed over from the corolina--name removed--for me even though i had a valid drivers license, i had to give a thumb print if i wanted to cash my check because i am not (nor is my fiance)a customer of this bank!
i am african american and she is polish american, is'nt this discriminatory practice?

It is not a discriminatory practice if it is done to all non-customers without regard to color.
