With a walking vector directly at the drivers side door and the pace of his walk, yea it was suspicious. Yes he did change his walking path to the side walk pretty close to the car. Sorry for any racial comments

OK, is it possible that the sidewalk was damaged, or blocked off where he was walking? Maybe it he knew the route and it was easier to detour through the parking lot since there were no cars there? Just thinking out loud here.

The OP was not using the word as degrading, but more descriptive. Yes, I know "mexicans" that are blonde haired and blue eyed, but it is safe to say that when the OP refered to the person as "a mexican.
