OK, now your point of view is clearer to me.  I make an effort to be at least basically polite with people in social situations.  Until they show that their behavior is substandard and then it is time to block, ignore, delete, move-on or tell them to shut up.  And there are times when you do have to yell back or make a big scene to get an asshole to fuck off.

I think a more accurate discription is "protected class" rather than minority group.  I'm sorry if I can't cry big tears for white middle class men.
