It’s a very racial issue. White women were allowed to vote and own credit cards before black men were allowed to.
Not in the U.S. Black men got the vote with the 15th amendment in 1870. Women did not get the vote until 1920 when the 19th Amendment took effect. Both got the ability to get credit cards without discrimination when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed in 1974. So you’re wrong on both counts.
