Usually, in modern stories, a character who's a sexist, racist, or something else of that kind is the bad guy. This is mostly due to the present-day realization that prejudice is bad. Sometimes, either due to a Writer on Board, Values Dissonance, Deliberate Values Dissonance, or something else, a character can get away with opinions that are...controversial. If the excuse is well-done, it can work. If not, it seems like a Karma Houdini. Unless, of course, they are punished for it, or forced to undergo a Face–Heel Turn.
