Is Bill Maher writing for them?
The darts reflect blacks’ resistance to interracial romance. They also are a reflection of discomfort with a man who has smashed barriers in one of America’s whitest sports and assumed the mantle of the world’s most famous athlete, once worn by Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan.
But Woods has declined to identify himself as black, and famously chose the term “Cablinasian” (Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian) to describe the racial mixture he inherited from his African-American father and Thai mother.
This vexed some blacks, but it hasn’t stopped them from claiming Woods as one of their own. Or from disapproving of his marriage to Elin Nordegren, despite blacks’ historical fight against white racist opponents of mixed marriage.
Hey RBG- people marry and make friends with whomever they want. It’s personal choice and freedom- get used to it!
In the dark, it’s all pink.
It’s bad enough he had an affair, but to marginalize it over his choice in women? I hate to be a master of the obvious here, but is it possible that in Tiger’s professional field and circle of friends that the vast majority of people he interacts with are white? This is almost sounding like some people may accuse him of self-hate.

And the fact that these marriages and friends are mostly of a particular race, well, that’s just a big fat statistical coincidence, right? Personal choice and freedom does not excuse racism. Get used to – at least hearing – that one.

Sometimes people try to read between the lines when there is nothing there to read. People predisposed to racism will likely see even the most trivial thing as a matter of racism. Sort of like Samuel Jackson’s character in Die Hard 3.
No one is making a big stink over him not dating Asian women. It seems that some people just picture him strictly as a black man due to the “one drop” rule? What’s interesting is that the liberals have no problems taking pot shots over what Tiger potentially identifies himself with but embraces the gay / transgender community with open arms over how those people identify themselves.
In the end, the people making this into a form of racism are essentially labeling him either as a “Twinkie” (if you prefer to view him as an Asian) or that he’s a “Ding Dong” (if you prefer to view him as a Black).
In the end, who really cares?
Preference does not mean bigoted. Get you head out of your ass!
If course racial preference does not mean bigoted. It just means: 2. racist – discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion. I’ll let you look up discriminatory.
RBG
With all due respect to “preference” and “RBG”‘s comments, to these people preferring a white wife to a black on IN ITSELF is the crime, because you like a white wife over a black one. Your “evil” is liking and choosing the white one over the black one. The terms used are irrelevant. These people are mad.
We have to stop trying to please these race-trading lunatics.
My wife will be blonde or brown with blue or green eyes and china-white skin.
That’s my choice.
Would he be racist if he only dated women with darker skin?
shame to this Tiger Woods, i’m never watching golf anyway. What a looser, cheating his wife, also a big time racist doing high order racial discrimination against black women. He should be beaten by a dozen strong black women, plus his wife.
