    On behalf of black women everywhere, I would personally like to thank Tiger Woods for keeping his fucking strictly white. White girls, he's all yours!

    What does Rush know about the "black frame of mind"? His only black friend is Clarence freakin' Thomas! Did he ask Clarence, who is married to a white woman, about what he is doing to black attitudes?

    Rush will always be the outrageously, blatantly racist one. But I'm disappointed in Eugene Robinson, of whom I'm a fan. Tiger Woods doesn't have a "standard of beauty," he has a Type! My Type is the shaggy haired Jewish boy, and if that was all I ever dated, I'd be effing thrilled.

    @mimigoliath: mmm, i do think he has a standard of beauty that is directly linked with the way he identifies himself. i'd say it goes much deeper than type...

    @tigolbitties: Think of Nicole Ritchie for a moment....pale as the day is long. Black dad. Do you see anyone calling her out for marrying a white guy??? No one blinks an eye! No one insists on calling her Black, either. There is an inconsistency in how society views race. Realistically the only difference between her and Tiger Woods is skin tone (in terms of ethnic makeup, I mean).

    @jaxdesert: realistically the only difference is skin tone? and that tiger is asian and nicole is latina, but whatevs on that, it's just skin color... she was adopted by lionel richie, do a quick google about who her father is. anyway, read my comment asshat, i'm not calling tiger out for who he married, i couldn't care less. but i do think who he's chosen to sleep with is a bit deeper than i like girls with big boobs and blondes/brunettes - especially given his throwaway comment to a friend about how his wife went "ghetto" on him. i think that speaks volumes about why he sleeps with who he sleeps with...
    but we do agree on one thing, there are definitely inconsistencies in how we view race.

    @tigolbitties: Okaaayyy ok so she's adopted (I actually should know that--I am obsessed with the tabloids). My point can be made about anyone with mixed ethnic background: they are often knee-jerk labeled as Black, or Latino or whatever, whether or not they even identify with that ethnicity. I don't mind if they don't mind, but I do wonder if society has a subtle racism that makes someone an automatic "minority" if they have any other-ethnicity blood. Hence, I suppose there is pressure for those persons to identify with and support that ethnicity even if it is alien to them...?

    In reply to Outrage-Off, Tiger Woods Edition: Rush Limbaugh vs. Eugene Robinson
    Well, I understand what Robinson is attempting to say, but I think he's looking at it too simplistically. Tiger does not consider himself a black man. Not as far as I've ever heard, anyway, despite his father's race. So he's attracted to the women he believes men of his stature should be attracted to...which really isn't beyond the frat boy aesthetic (hair, boobs, tiny, tiny, waist, small ass), which to me speaks more of his maturity level than his racial consciousness. His racial identity was never in debate, because those of us who were observant, knew his thoughts on that topic. So I'm thinking Robinson is trying to ascribe some sort of racial ownership to Tiger that just doesn't exist in his world. But more to the point, I think Robinson is an ass for basically saying, "Oh, the whole cheating thing...that's okay, just as long as it was with yellow and brown women." Dick.

    Limbaugh will always win my vote though, because as misguided as Robinson is, fucking nut-baggery of racist hoo-doo is not really his M.O.

    @Spirit Fingers: Ditto on your sentiment.

    I've always considered Tiger's cheatin' type--i.e., obvious plastic surgery, immodest clothing, overdone hair, nails, teeth--to be a method on that person's part to send out the easy lay signal via obvious self-hatred. It's not that these women are particularly attractive, they just put out the signal that if you're lookin' for some, you won't have to chase. This "signal" has become so homogenized in our culture that it's laughable when you see how hard these women work to look like one another. So much for individuality and standing out in a crowd.

    @PaisleyPajamas: Yes. His choice in chicas is sooo lame and cliche'....and just damn lazy. Not condoning the cheating. For that he is forever a dud, and forget their race, but to cheat with the same cut-out over and over, just why? It's like he's so enormously boring in life that all he really wanted was to install some sort of "fuck" button in the center of their head. Tiger and his legion of interchangeable, poseable action Kung-Fu grip, Bimbos.

    @Spirit Fingers: Tiger is not black. His father was a mix of African, Chinese, and American Indian ancestery. So why would Tiger consider himself a black man? If anything, he should consider himself an Asian man.

    @OneViewHere: So he said. One of the men who raped one of my great grandmothers was Irish but I still stay home on St. Paddy's Day. Fucked up Tiger is a product of his fucked up Daddy who incidentally was fucking Tiger's mommy while he was married to someone else. So Tiger is just chasing after the kind of woman who married dear old dad.

He now has all incentive to go with the full on Darth Vader act. The bigots are cheering him on more than ever, and he now knows that even the football fans among the rest of us will never accept him.

    Robinson finds it surprising that a rich, powerful man chooses to sleep around with "conventionally attractive" bimbo-Barbie types with big boobs? What a novel issue worthy of an op-ed piece! I think Robinson needs to get out of the library more.

    But as far as the outrage-off goes, snide racism beats out over-earnest, naive liberalism any day.

    Eugene sounds dumb mostly because he's a dude. No black guy is gonna rag on Tiger for fucking a string of white women. Indeed, they would congratulate him on a job well done.

    However, my female relatives DO cop a serious attitude when any famous/rich black guy pairs up with a white woman, especially if she's below-par (pun intended). Eugene's wife/sister must of told him to write this BS.
