Minwax stains are made to go directly onto wood. You do not need primer, and I think it looks awful over primer.

Can you stain a white door?

If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.

Can you stain a house after it has been painted?

Yes, but with any wood surface that you stain you must have a clean surface. If you have removed all the old paint and you are down to bare wood then you probably should brush on Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner, Minwax runs about 10-11 bucks a quart. If ANY paint or primer is left on wood you will get spots that will only show up after you stain so make sure it is clean and bare.
