OT-Sandy ? Cuban, Mexican, or Italian ?
Posted By: davidcycleback
Tiger Woods is multiple races. His mom is Thai and his dad is mixed including black. If 25 percent is the rule (and I'm no saying it is), Tiger would qualify as both Thai American and African American. However, as he is proud of his mixed background, he refuses to assign himself to one race. Some African Americans didn't like that he didn't call himself African American, even when he pointed out he is mostly Thai. Rachel Robinson, Jackie's widow, wrote in an article that Tiger's approach was fine with her, as he was proud of all his ethnic background, including his black background. She wrote that she'd only have a problem if he avoided a label as a technique to distance himself from his ethnic background.
