After he won the Masters for the first time in 1997, President Clinton asked him to appear with him at Shea Stadium for a ceremony commemorating Jackie Robinson. Woods said, sorry, but he had longstanding plans with friends in Mexico. Many people — including some conservatives — thought that this was hugely disrespectful to the president, and an insult to the memory of Robinson, the great pioneer. Woods was unmoved. .

LOL he dissed X.42 he know what a media whore x.42 is -- sounds to me like the kids has good instincts LOL

Can you imagine a bunch of journalists pestering white athletes to become spokesmen for whites? They would be out of a job so faster than you can say "John Rocker".

The more I read about Tiger, the more I like him. He is ,perhaps, the ultimate American. Works hard, doesn't whine, and refuses to make race an issue.

I hear that the Williams sisters are something like that too (even though their father apparently isn't).

I'll be glad where there is only one race consideration / choice / option in government - the human race.

One interesting thing about the whole “race card syndrome” is that nobody really knows the rules so you can’t really say you’re not playing the game right. Je$$e Jack$on thinks he is the guy in-charge but it is beyond his control.

My daughter-in-law is one-half South African Dutch and on all the forms she fills out when they have an African-American box she checks it!

Sometimes she gets called on it and other times the institutions are so desperate to get any African-American the let her ride.

I just read where Rachel Welsh was called for not acknowledging her Bolivian roots and many Hispanics are getting nailed on this all the time? So who’s to say who is deserving of being a minority? Halle Berry who accepted her Oscar for all “African-Americans probably thought she was making Je$$e happy.

Woods’s dad, Earl — a tough, no-nonsense military man — is half black, a quarter Chinese, and a quarter Indian; Woods’s mom is half Thai, a quarter Chinese, and a quarter white.

With this background it looks like the biggest stereotype Tiger broke is that Asians can’t drive ;>

Tiger seems to be a pretty cool guy
