Tiger never said that he was not black. He simply said that he is not ONLY black and wanted to include his Mother’s heritage too. He’s mixed and for him to only claim his Father’s heritage would be disrespectful to his Mother and her heritage. I wish people would stop repeating that lie. I’m not mixed but I can understand where he’s coming from.
Tiger mother a Asia woman,So what does that have to do with claiming whiteness and living in they world, If he respected his mom so much he would have married a Asia woman, You can’t stop no one from voicing opinions about him.
