Discrimination in Real Estate Investment

I know this one might get a bit controversial, but I think it's important to have this discussion. I started out investing a bit over a year ago and it was just recently I started experiencing some discrimination once I moved outside the city in Atlanta. It's something I've come to live with in the south in general but I'm really curious to see if anyone has experienced any discrimination when it comes to securing seed capital from lenders, if any of y'all have seen negotiations hurt just by racism or if it's more of a one-off occurrence. Ran an experiment having my wife do the negotiating (she's white) and I swear she's either either memorized the Art of the Deal or I'm being hurt by unconscious bias.
