I've witnessed more than 10 people ding my door, and what do they do? Just apologize and walk away. There's nothing I can do, but to prevent this from happening, I simply park much further away.
Yes, I am Asian too but guess what, I admit it that asians are pretty crappy drivers. Especially those who drive big trucks and not know their distance! It's not racist to pick on your own race xD but it only takes so much for someone to realize it's true. They're not saying you're bad at driving, they're saying there are a lot of asians that are bad at driving.

Despite my comment, how did this person's rant become 5-6 pgs? But most importantly, how the hell did this rant become a racial subject against Asians?

Ffs a ding or dent on your car has absolutely nothing to do with race. I have 5 dings on my car 3 of which I happened to witness. 1 was from an east Indian , 2nd & 3rd was from a Caucasian in a Walmart parking lot. You think i'm going around ranting about white people who shop at Walmart? You guys make absolutely no sense. This shi*t happens due to a lack of courtesy and respect for other people's property. Enough with the Asian rant...it's played out.

my .02 on why some people cant drive in North America is because they lack the appropriate driver training. Perhaps the majority are of Asian descent because there is a language barrier or someone's allowed them to cut corners to receive their driver's license at a cost. Blame the system..in other words "don't hate the player, hate the game."

I really have no clue how this turned into a racial debate. The issue at hand was lack of respect between car enthusiasts.

LMAO @Bob4256, OP, and others here! Hey CL - It's my first post, as I only recently purchased a 2007 2IS. I love my car and OP caught my attention with this thread because I go out of my way to park in B.F.E. myself. Just like others here, I get annoyed when somebody goes out of their way to park next to me, touches my windows, paint, etc. Don't they "get it?" lol - I know it's a parking lot and I can't claim a spot, but I just want my baby to be safe - is that too much to ask???

congrats on your purchase and welcome to CL. Hopefully if another 2IS member spots your car in a parking lot has more respect for you than they did for me. BTW the black hand print was on my door not my windows lol I would have preferred it to be on the window vs my car considering I had just washed and waxed it not to mention that my car is white. But I took care of it immediately right after I saw it out of reflex with soap and water plus instant detailer.
