<You like his father too? <gg> > I think so, but have seen and heard very little of him. Any Dad who puts so much into his son has got to be a lot of good. I recall his Dad was a 'Green Beret' in Vietnam. Tiger's Mum a local Vietnamese or something. So Tiger is a 'Cablinasian'. Here's a confused person trying to define themselves and children by 'race'. They will fail. webcom.com When people understand that they are each a singular bunch of DNA [other than clones - either man made or natural] they won't have all these problems of 'identity'. Each is an individual product of a vast chain of DNA, all their own, and an infinite array of experiences, all their own. Nobody shares a culture and a race, other than on the most superficial level. lubbockonline.com <Woods stars on Oprah, says he's 'Cablinasian' CHICAGO (AP) - When Tiger Woods was asked in school to check one box that best described his background, he couldn't settle on one. Perhaps that's because there wasn't a box for 'Cablinasian.' That's the word that best describes his background, a blend of Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian, the 21-year-old golf star said on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' Woods said it bothers him when people call him an African-American. 'It does,' he said Monday during the taping in Chicago. 'Growing up, I came up with this name. I'm a 'Cablinasian.' Woods' race has often been an issue in a game played predominantly by whites. It was brought to the forefront again when Fuzzy Zoeller referred to him as 'that little boy' and urged him not to put fried chicken or collard greens on the menu of the Champions Dinner next year at Augusta National. Woods is one-fourth black, one-fourth Thai, one-fourth Chinese, one-eighth white and one-eighth American Indian. > Don't forget, those "Thais, Chinese, Whites, Negroes and Indians" were not all racially 'pure' to start with. There has been a LOT of human DNA sloshing around the world for thousands of years.
