By that definition, no black person, including Earl Woods, can be a racist. That said, Earl Woods could be a bigot. The mainstream media's obsession with finding bigotry in people of color is approaching the ridiculous. Jesse Jackson still suffers for one remark he made 15 years ago, which he has apologized for numerous times. Nitpicking, you say.
Race has nothing to do with that.
Common sense sounds closer to the truth. These people have probably been festering for a long time, waiting for Tiger or his dad to say something so that they can use it and vindicate Fuzzy for his comments. Maybe that is the key to equality. Sounds too ridiculous to me. I f Earl Woods had been white and made his comments about Africa instead of Scotland, he would have been crucified in the media, so the answer is yes, he is a racist.
