As always, Steeltrap, another thought-provoking piece, with a lot of credible points. It seems most racial categorizing is government-sponsored, so this issue is going to be with us awhile...I don't see it as a major problem.

However I do view Tiger slightly differently. He's certainly entitled to be "Cablinasian" or whatever label he chooses. But he was fine being "Black" when Nike put $40 million in his pocket in 1997 when he came on tour. Remember his commercial ----> "Hey world, are you ready for me?...There are courses I cannot play because of the color of my skin, blah, blah, blah."

His golf dominance provides a natural platform to say things that would advance his sport. He seems smart, credible, and would most likely bring a different perspective, given his upbringing.
