Thai mother. His “black” father has alot of (visible) American Indian ancestry, along with some paleface.

The writer sort of answers his own question in the first paragraph of the article. He imples that a black woman would have “gone ghetto” (Tiger’s words, not mine) on him instantly. I’ve never seen, or read about, a rich black woman or a black woman married to a rich, black man that stood as an individual. They all had to bring the whole “black thing” with them. Everything to them is racist if the world does not go their way. Example: Halle Barry - when she didn’t get a particular part; Oprah - just about every day on every subject. What male, of “any” race, wants to deal with that on a daily basis?

She looks like Lisa Rinna

[Oldpuppymax]

Separates him from African Americans? Yeah...like most black males aren’t interested in nailing white females. Uh, huh.

I’ll bet two Rachels that your Katlika is a Jamie.

It hard to tell the players without a program.

[ronniesgal]

if we can catch Obama with a white woman......he is toast

[fieldmarshaldj]

I dunno, I haven’t seen Lisa Rinna’s cameltoe to compare.

[Perdogg]

I was talking about her face.

The last comment (of the 3 page article) is hilarious:

****And then you never date a black woman or a woman of color or you never sample the greatness of the international buffet of human beings. If you never do that, we got a problem.****

Wow....

[trisham]

I didn’t notice until I read this article.

The color of one's companion has long been a major measure of "blackness" — which is a big reason why the biracial Barack Obama was able to fend off early questions about his black authenticity.

"Had Barack had a white wife, I would have thought twice about voting for him," Johnson Cooper said."

[fieldmarshaldj]

Oh, I haven’t seen her face, yet.

[TexasCajun]

In this article, just replace every instance of the word African-American or Black with Jesse Washington.

The Tom Joyner show is quite possibly the most RACIST program on the Nation's airwaves.

I had never heard something more disgustingly racist on a National scale until I heard their programming a few times.

...I was in a restaurant the other day. An AA guy in a tie who looked a LOT like Tiger was having lunch...

There's a gorgeous girl that frequents a local Starbucks I go to that is the spitting image of Tiger. She could be his sister. Beautiful skin and long black hair.

Thought about asking her out but then I'm not sure I could get the thought of Tiger out of my mind as we....um...ahem.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

You’re not alone...

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I’ll just have to take your word for it....

Never heard of him.

I am amazed that any high profile, rich guy (e.g., Woods, Trump, M. Jordan, P. McCartney, et al) would marry and have kids before they were 45-50 years of age. They invariably lose millions of $$$ divorcing their trophy wife. All women, including the trophy wife, physically “depreciate” rapidly after kids.

There are way too many young beautiful willing females available 24/7 and most are “FREE” for a dinner and drinks. And while everyone is pinging TW, no one really challenges why Elin married him: True Love, Money, Prestige, Money, Fame, Money, etc.

I really believe this is none of the public’s concern. And I am not particularly a Tiger fan or even a golfer.

I was listening to a DC sports radio show this morning and what really shocked me is that the women callers were more upset at the radioshow host than then they were at Tiger. The radioshow host said that Elin was a fraud to begin with.
