This is inaccurate, Tiger Woods never claimed to be Asian, he identifies himself as a mixed race person, not as an Asian. I myself find it ridiculous that a person who is not of 100% Asian descent can be seen as representative of Asian peoples, especially when this person does not even consider himself to be asian which he couldn't anyway because HE IS NOT.
I find this insulting. Look up the wikipedia article White Americans, are there any mixed race people on that picture there? Could Obama ever be considered a "white" american? So how is it logical that a half Asian man can be considered an asian american?
I have only one explanation for this, racism.
If you have another explanation, please elucidate me. -
