You can give your opinion on this cartoon

I imagine Vijay sees himself as a professional golfer, not as a "non-white."
Luckovich has a problem pigeon-holing Fijian, Vijay Sing, he's black but not African.

It shows up on my preview.

[paulklenk]

Yes! You can have it, an' have it, an' have it!

[ovrtaxt]

Wow, how low will they stoop?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

You're confusing LIBERAL with black.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I'm sure they haven't found the bottom.

...A Non-White Guy...

I have a dream that my two children will one day live in a nation where golfers will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their scorecard.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Me too. LOL. I hope everyone gets it.

[lib-r-teri-ann]

Vijay isn't black, he is of Indian descent. Unbelievable racism in this article; apparently cos some men thousand of miles away in India burned some widows, therefore Vijay must be the same. Shame on him for opposing women on the PGA tours! Can't you see that is just like bride-burning!? LOL

[paulklenk]

Me, too!

Gosh, I don't want to classify him but maybe it's his cannibalistic heritage that makes him so ......

Some will say he's being chauvinistic.

I believe his point is, there's a men's tournament and there's a woman's torunament. By playing in the men's, she's butting in where she doesn't belong. I must agree. And it doesn't have to do with her sex, it has to do with her ability. I'll be watching, as will so many. It will be a commercial success but it won't take away from Vijay Sing's point.

How many times must we say this? Everyone has a slot. Everyone must fit into his slot. There must be NO THINKING! Good. Now go play in traffic.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I'll accept that.

[chainsaw]

VJ doesn't want to risk getting beaten by a women. What a whimp.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump!

No thinking is right. When thinking kicks in, the Democrats will not get 95% of the black vote.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

You can't believe that.

He'd benefit if he took putting lessons from Anika but she wouldn't benefit if she took driving lessons from Vijay. It's just the way it is.

I am confused about the Democrat vote. My party seems to be making some inroads amongst live black and other minority voters, but we are falling woefully behind amongst the dead voters across all racial lines, whose enthusiasm for the process seems on the increase.

CW, we are wrong to ignore the illegal vote, after all it gave Al Gore the popular victory upon which he, Stephanoupoulos, and Carville have been dining out ever since.

[vetvetdoug]

Democrats don't think unless its to cheat someone.

[OpusatFR]

Oops. I thought he was Indian. My next door neighbor is married to a Puerto Rican I thought was Samoan. My brother married a Japanese I thought was Korean.

Moral of this? Who cares... I can't tell once race from another and it doesn't matter.

I was interested in this to start with and wished Anika the best and still do.
But saying that lets say "Tiger and the top five rated men on the PGA started playing all the leading money events on the womens tour, how would that fair?(I know they cant because of the discriminatory rules but its not discrimination when the shoe is on the other foot is it)?
The real problems I have here are this keeps some man who is at the bottom of the ladder from making a living unless Anika does not make the cut, to which I think she will and I know Im in the minority on the cut deal.Also if all the men on the bottom of the rung played on the womens tour do you not think the women would complain? Diversity is just another way to have a set aside. To the PC crowd this does not mean the same thing it says in Websters. To them diversity must mean what they say it does and you are not diverse if your opinion is different and there is no place for you.
Next lets cut out all gender and race and let everyone compete for every thing at anytime. From grammar school all the way through college and life.
Regardless of what one believes we are not all created equal and no law in the land can dictate that.
I am looking for a lawyer to help me sue God and the Pope because I cannot have a child,where is my equality and whose fault is that? Maybe its the governments rather than God and the Popes.
