Of course they can tell, how else are they going to pick their preferred partners to cheat on their wives with.

I play tennis and don’t serve against gay people. They make me feel funny with their passionate moaning. /s

I'm swinging back in the other direction and refusing to serve rednecks and people with navy suits and red ties.

I mean... lawyers are pretty terrible. Case in point: most of Congress are lawyers.

This is anecdotal but I have seen this as a gay man living in Ohio. My whole family is from the sticks but I live just outside a major city now. There's a pizza place back home that my fiance and I can't go to because they won't serve him (he is, admittedly, quite fabulous). I can go alone, because I blend in, but him they will just quietly ignore and occasionally glance over to check if he's gotten the hint yet. No yelling, no epithets, but no service either.

I grew up in FL and was denied service 2 separate times for being mixed race. This occurred in the early 2000s. Both times the restaurants were subtlety segregated and they refused to seat us in either section.

Yep. I grew up in the mountains of NC. When I was a kid, the mayor of our town was the head of the local KKK sect. Needless to say, non-white people were generally not found in that town.

Attitudes did change over the following years, so that was nice.

I am not from the deep south but close enough. I haven't seen anything like what people online seem to think it's like around here, it's overly exaggerated. That's not to say discrimination doesn't ever happen, I'm sure there's pockets here and there. I personally don't know a single person who is ok with that crap.

It might be because you aren't a visible minority that you haven't witnessed it, you don't notice it happening because it's not on your radar that it could happen.

No thanks, my town has less than 6000 population, and I can easily afford my mortgage on my house that sits on an acre of land. It's nice being my own landlord, and I can do whatever the fuck I want here.
