Its the same sort of respect that true boxing fans show each, especially others who have been in the ring, at whatever level! You know what it takes to get into the ring, and what it feels like. True boxing fans will never call another boxer a coward.
I think most boxers are respectful and tolerant to other than their own race as most gyms are complex places with a lot of different races.
