Tiger Woods The worlds present day greatest golfer but he's?

Question

1/4 thai 1/4 chinese 1/4 african 1/8 amerindian 1/8dutch but why do the media always go on about him being black ? if he was 1/4 white would they be expounding this fact with such relish or is it just the BBC's outlook on sporting matters ?

Answer 1

Not racist but African Americans are always trying take what they can get. Woods appears more African American then he does white or Chinese. That is why on the Chappelle show he was officially drafted by the African Amercians.

Answer 2

he will in no way very own up. he's been coddled by ability of the media for too long and now considers himself above the fray. he's a spoiled-rotten diva. He might desire to check out Arnold Palmer and take notes on the thank you to be a great golfer AND a great guy.

Answer 3

Anyone who looks black to white people, are black. If you're mixed 50/50 black and white, you will be id'd as black. It's a harsh reality, but a little black in you will always be mentioned; it's what some hope will be that one thing that's against you. Kind of like, "You think your good; well you would be, except you're black." That's what that guy tried to do when Tiger won the first time (green jacket) by saying he can have his greens and chicken, or whatever it is they eat...remember that?

Answer 4

oh please, what does it matter - he is winning not because he is "1/4 thai 1/4 chinese 1/4 african 1/8 amerindian 1/8dutch" but becasue he is so much better than the competition, and if i remember correctly when he won for the first time - the fuss was not over his ethnic background but over the fact that he was almost half the age of the other players ....

Answer 5

My goodness it is not just bbc. they only showed his black father on tv and tv flashbacks and only rarely the mother. there is such an intense effort to carry out the social engineering program in the u.s., u.k. and a france. in u.s. the steady drumbeat and chant is for more diversity and affirmative action at all costs. a new culture and a mutated version of english. so they use it in so many ways. no. 1 they incorporate into the public education system which is a totally federally controlled program like all dictatorial governments have done from ancient times. i don't like it very much. woe is me! poor yorkin.

Answer 6

In the US you are what you look like. Sure, he's multi-racial but he's definitely African American (that's the first thing that you see) so that's what people will call you. It's not just athletes, the same is true of Actresses. Halle Berry is just as caucasian as she is African American but when you see her, you see Black woman and that's how her mother raised her.

Answer 7

its the one drop rule, which incidentally, was brought about by white people. In the old days, if someone had a drop of black in them, they were considered black, because white people didnt want to have anything to do with black people. That rule has continued, and now its white people who are complaining about it... i gotta laugh at that one

Answer 8

Because he looks black. In America during the civil rights era, it didn't matter if you were half or 1/4. If you looked black, you were considered black and were treated just like people who were 100% black, so people identified more with their black side. People still do today. I'm mixed, but I consider myself black. I just identify more with the black side. When people racially profile you, they don't do it any less because you're half or 1/4. The same goes when they're successful and so they still identify with their black side.
