Respect is earned not given.
Also seems like people mix race or whatever with professional achievements.

First you prove you can built company or contribute then i will respect you on professional level . Saying that i must respect someone for achievements they don't have, when they just came to company to learn and take time of others on the same level as respecting someone who most likely built the company makes no sense.

Again we are not talking about being rude to newcomers. I'll still hold their door, greet them, have coffee break with them but you can't seriosly except me to act as if their achievement are what they are not.
