I agree.

If it turns out Woods was cheating, his public reputation will greatly suffer, although it can recover.

The woman he allegedly cheated on is white and blond.

His wife is white, blond, and Swedish.

That caused some anger in the black community when it was first disclosed they were getting married. I saw it as a topic if discussion last year:

(Q)Do most Black woman dislike Tiger Woods? My friend said that he knows two Black women who don't really care for Tiger Woods because he married a White woman. Why would Black women care? If we are not living in a racist society, what's the difference who Tiger marrys? ........................................................(A)they don't see him as the epithamy of what a real black man is. He has another race in him anyway he isn't african american anyway! but besides all that he's not a true black man down with his own people so they disregard him...

I take it that most Black women don't like white women marrying famous black athletes. Think OJ jury.

As I recall, Tiger's father was half black and his mother was not black at all (white and asian perhaps?). He is less black than Obama. Seems to me that the "black community" is going to have to figure out what "black" means.

Ah! Found this. "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 (or, with the same caveat, a half-Thai, half-Chinese mother). "

Interesting, because Tiger is only one quarter black.
