Hey....you wanna step outside?

I bet you're the stereotypical internet tough guy.....afraid of your own shadow and a strong wind would blow you over.....but once you're behind that key board Bruce Lee, Steven Segal, and Chuck Norris combined aint got nothin' on you. Love it. Thanks for being you. I enjoy comedy.

If you have no problem being treated with disrespect, more power to you.

Not everyone shares your sentiment however.

Yeah but now there are too many minorities that are incapable or just too lazy to open the door on their own.
Or if its not held open for them, they're looking to sue somebody.

You imply that, by proxy of their nonwhite status, they don't deserve it.

As a white male, I will say that I have met more "upright" white Americans who fall into this incapable and lazy bracket you allude to than minorities.

OP feels that they deserve it, if they have earned it. Minorities must prove themselves worthy of respect before they will get any respect.

I notice he didn't include Whites in his thread. I guess they get a pass.
