If you live in Oklahoma and like me travel a lot out of state and back then it affects you when dealing with certain people who now associate white Okies with racist chants, it's more mental than physical but it does affect some of us, to a degree. To be in business and have to deal with potential customers who may associate you with this kind of stuff just because of geography and your skin color could become challenging.

You're right...I was in San Diego all last week and people there know I'm from Oklahoma, and an OU Alum ('94) - luckily not an SAE.
It'll eventually blow over, but for now it's a little annoying being associated with it when trying to conduct business.
