13-year-olds tying up a kindergartener, painting things on the wall? California has been multiracial for generations, so it’s not like he was the first dark-skinned kid in a school in Little Rock. It’s an insane story.

It is insane, but stuff like this does happen. I’m not sure what the racial make up of his school was, but if there were very few black kids, it is possible this could happen. The same thing is true of a white kid in a school that is nearly all black or all latino. Also, keep in mind this was 30 years ago. Despite all the race baiting, things have improved quite a bit since then.
Another scenario is this. Tiger tells a Barkley story about some white kids calling him racial slurs and maybe hitting him. Barkley embellishes it a bit (either intentionally or unintentionally) when he tells it to his ghostwriter. Then the ghostwriter exagerrates it a little more.
I will say this, IMO, there is a better chance that Tiger’s story is true than there is that the teacher’s claim of havign “migraines, high blood pressure and other ailments” and only refuting the story 5 years later because “she couldn’t get through to Tiger” (as opposed to it being because he is about to make a much hyped comeback after one of the most widely talked about scandals in history) is true.
Remember, when you consider the credibility of a teacher teacher, think UNION MEMBER. :)
