Even thought I was qualified; I was turned down for a small business
loan because I am married to a white man.
I wonder if "minor legend" business success here in Oklahoma
caused that problem.
IIRC, a highly successful bidness in Oklahoma was started with
SBA loans taken out by a lady (using "Native American" status)
to start what became a booming bidness run by her (dare I say)
"paleface" spouse and workforce.
NO FLAMES PLEASE!!!
Plenty of Okies from across the spectrum of "Indian" to "white"
to "black" start and run a lot of successful bidnesses.
But I wonder if this one example caused the SBA to shut down the
"spouse as a front" avenue to loans based on some sort of "oppressed"
or "minority" status.

I don’t know about OK. This happened in CA back in the 90’s.
Btw, my husband has Indian blood.
