Hey idiots, Tiger is ASIAN

I am so sick of hearing people refer to Tiger as a black man. Does he have some African-American ethnicity? Yes, 25%. But he is 50% Asian (25% Chinese, 25% Thai). I don’t like people focusing on race at all, but I’ll be damned if I’ll sit idly by while the media pretends Tiger is a black man sleeping around with white women. HE IS ASIAN.

I chose to use the stereotypical color coding due to cultural familiarity. It would have been stupid to try to avoid this color-coding. If anyone wants to take exception with this, just know I would love to get into an intellectual discussion of craniofacial anthropometry, but just reading that phrase probably made a few people black out. The layman does not have time to learn the differences between Caucasoids, Mongoloids, Congoids, Capoids and other typically unknown scientific terms referring to ethnicity.

Stop referring to Tiger Woods as a black man. Yes, I recognize the significance of a darker-skinned man not only playing on a golf course but dominating it, which was prohibited well after the civil rights movement, but the time has passed. I find the whole characterization of his race in golf discussions as condescending. I find it despicable to even bring it up in regards to the drama of his tremendous infedelity. It is 100% IRRELEVANT. Its especially irrelevant to refer to his blackness as though it dominates who he is. He has mixed ethnicity, and the mix is mostly Asian. Did I mention he was Asian? HE IS ASIAN.

Robot Chicken did a skit about Tiger Woods being “Mostly Chinese” which is slightly inaccurate, but quite funny.

Tiger cheated on his wife multiple times. His infidelity is horrendous, and its even worse since there are two kids in the picture. His race doesn’t matter, but if you’re gonna talk about it, get it right.
