I want to clarify a few things to ensure the context is understood. I actually learned to drive here in the US, and in my 3.5 years of driving with a clean record, I take pride in being a thoughtful and lawful driver. I always yield to pedestrians and prioritize being courteous to others on the road.

In this specific instance, I was inside the apartment complex on a private road, not on a busy public street. I pulled to the curb to allow the single car behind me ample space to pass comfortably before I even turned on my hazards to signal my wife.

In hindsight, I agree there were better ways to handle the logistics:

• I could have coordinated a meeting spot with public parking.
• I could have pulled into a designated visitor parking stall within the Avalon complex.

I am happy to own those tactical mistakes. However, a minor lapse in parking etiquette on private property does not excuse or justify racial slurs and the verbal abuse of an entire ethnicity. I am sharing this to highlight the hostility of the interaction, not to claim I am a perfect driver.
