'A Preservation Thing': Tiger Woods' marital woes widen his distance from African-Americans
StarTribune.com ^ | 12/5/09 | Jesse Washington/AP

Amid all the headlines generated by Tiger Woods' troubles — the puzzling car accident, the suggestions of marital turmoil and multiple mistresses — little attention has been given to the race of the women linked with the world's greatest golfer.

Except in the black community.

When three white women were said to be romantically involved with Woods in addition to his blonde, Swedish wife, blogs, airwaves and barbershops started humming, and Woods' already tenuous standing among many blacks took a beating.

On the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner radio show, Woods was the butt of jokes all week.

Tigers three girl freinds are white. No blacks need apply. Though Ms Grubbs seems to be part Asian or Hispanic

Tiger is mostly black and doesn’t go out w his own

a study published this year in Sociological Quarterly showed that blacks are less likely to actually date outside their race than are other groups.

That being said, I have seen an upsurge in black women dating white men over the past five years or so. It doesn't quite approach the level of white men with Asian women (to the point where Asian guys REALLY have a right to complain), but has been noticeable, especially due to black women's traditional antipathy to race mixing. You also see a lot more black American women with foreign black men.

Tiger is half Asian, a quarter African, an eighth European, and an eighth Native American.

He was never that huge in the black community. The one woman may not be all that white - not that it really matters. The whole thing his sad but he is and has always been a punk.

His father dumped his first wife who was probably black. So he did not have a really greast role model there.

Y’know, Rachel could get a full inspection from her gynecologist without her having to remove her bikini bottoms.

I thought I read once where he is 1/4 black, 1/4 white and 1/2 Asian.

But, like the Kenyan, playing up his “black” part opens that affirmative action door.

Was his father Earl Woods black? I know his mother was Thai.

Tiger is “blacker” than Barack Obama by blood I think, except by marrying a black woman, Obama’s black street cred was higher.

I was in a restaurant the other day. An AA guy in a tie who looked a LOT like Tiger was having lunch. He seemed like a pleasant guy. It probably will suck now to look like Tiger now.

It's obvious that Tiger Woods has never really identified with the African-American culture and considers himself what he is; a heterosexual, multi-racial man that prefers 'white' women.

I'm sure this is not a problem to Tiger Woods or something he believes he needs to defend, and I doubt that he will. He has enough to deal with as a result of his philandering. That the 'Black community' is finding fault with Tiger's choice of mistresses, based on their race, is inconsequential.

The whole messaih and adulation thing the Tiger fan boys have is a lot like Obama Obots. The difference is Tiger is very accomplished at something. The other one is good at lying and conning people.

Well, I’ll rise to Tiger’s defense...Though not condoning infidelity, his behavior is understandable. When he married, his wife was young..a nanny..a trophy piece..actually a blonde bimbo...Tiger grew intellectually..while his wife was kept busy producing the next generation of Woods ( and Irons?). He was unable to have a serious, intellectual conversation with her abut anything..business..politics..world affairs..so he naturally gravitated to intelligent women with whom he could have stimulating intellectual discussions...I mean, just look at their pics...no way these women are boobs.

No need to fret. It ain’t like there aren’t many guys who haven’t seen her urethra already.
