At least in the US, it used to be that they actively spouted their racist and sexist opinions and excluded people from their businesses for those reasons. Then we passed civil rights legislation and most stopped doing that and slowly stopped being as likely to do so in any populated area. Small towns didn't really stop, although they tried to hide it if they were worried about legal repercussions.

Yes, for the most part it was unlikely that someone would spout out their horrible views between the late 80s and early 2000s, but that was not a very long time.
