epyon#12 thanks for the comment and links. it sounds like the woods family lived in a predominantly white environment which would have been very difficult for a mixed family.

Tiger Woods, is black and Asian. His father, Earl Woods, in discussing his own ethnicity (see below), claimed that he (Earl Woods) was 1/4 black (yeah, right). I think due to the racial discrimination he faced back in the day, he wanted to deny being just plain old black. And, he didn’t want his son to be perceived as black.

It’s amusing to see how many people get worked up over race. =/
I could always see the Asian in him. His facial features look kind of Thai to me.

OK… more ignorance…. how could Tiger have dark skin and still only be 1/4 black? It’s called genetic dominance. Were sleeping or just stoned when your Bio class covered that. Darker skin is actually a dominant trait over light skin.
