Однако, если он кавалер (или командор) ордена, то Sir John :-)

Это возможно только как ироническая форма. Глубокоуважаемый господин Колян.

Mr. John - это только в детском саду дети так воспитателей называют. :) Причем даже не всех, а тех, которые помоложе (например, студенты - ассистенты :) ) Ну, чаще это будет не Mr., a Miss, но Mr. тоже встречаются.

Униженные и оскорбленные

Racial Etiquette: The Racial Customs and Rules of Racial Behavior in Jim Crow America
By Ronald L. F. Davis, Ph. D.
California State University, Northridge

Most southern white Americans who grew up prior to 1954 expected black Americans to conduct themselves according to well-understood rituals of behavior. This racial etiquette governed the actions, manners, attitudes, and words of all black people when in the presence of whites. To violate this racial etiquette placed one's very life, and the lives of one's family, at risk.

Blacks were expected to refer to white males in positions of authority as "Boss" or "Cap'n"--a title of respect that replaced "Master" or "Marster" used in slave times. Sometimes, the white children of one's white employer or a prominent white person might be called "Massa," to show special respect. If a white person was well known, a black servant or hired hand or tenant might speak in somewhat intimate terms, addressing the white person as "Mr. John" or "Miss Mary."

All black men, on the other hand, were called by their first names or were referred to as "Boy," "Uncle," and "Old Man"--regardless of their age.
