I'm sorry but Tiger Woods looks straight up Samoan, Fijiian, Polynesian, whatever....anything but black to me. I've just never looked at him and said that is a black man. I've always thought, that's an Asian man with some black in him.


I'm not uncomfortable with him claiming non-black heritages, seeing as how he looks (and essentially is) the part. I've never seen him be militant about it, but he talks about it so much because people ask about it so much. Don't you think that's the number one question he was asked when he first came out? People wouldn't ask unless there was a strong-enough presence of another race than black.

He probably coined the term "Caublinasion" because it became too much to relate that his father is of mixed African American (50 percent), Chinese (25 percent) and Native American (25 percent) ancestry, and my mother is mixed Thai (50 percent), Chinese (25 percent), and Dutch (25 percent) ancestry...which makes Woods one-quarter Chinese, one quarter Thai, one quarter African American, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch
*the above info came from Wiki

Clearly, if you do the math, the man has more Asian in him than anything else. And only a quarter black.
