Yes, he had good parents. Isn’t his mother Hawaiian, or part Hawaiian? [I didn’t read the article clear through, lol]

Tiger Woods said he wasn’t actually “black” at all — he was “Cablinasian.”

Woods made his remarks on “Oprah,” when he was asked if it bothered him to be called an African-American. “It does,” he said. “Growing up, I came up with this name: I’m a ‘Cablinasian.’” As in Caucasian-black-Indian-Asian.

Woods has a black father (or to be precise, if I am interpreting Woods’ reported ancestry correctly, a half-black, one-quarter American Indian, one-quarter white father) and a Thai mother.
