Asian dominance on the PGA and LPGA Tours

[rogerhuang]

Tiger calls himself "Cablinasian", not Asian. Caucasian, Black, Asian.

"If I was Asian" should be "If I WERE Asian". "Your like an..." should be "YOU'RE like an..." since you are saying "You are" as opposed to indicating a possessive case. Just wanted to help you out on the grammar. There is a difference. "Asian Pride" does not advocate lynching minorities or burning crosses in people's front yards. Asian Pride does not advocate flying a Confederate flag 100 years after the South lost the Civil War. Asian Pride is cherishing the results of my brothers and sisters' hard work, perseverance, dedication, relentless practice, and personal sacrifice.

Bull. He's half and half, and he doesn't identify with one over the other. He's been pretty political about all of that. Make your point without making things up.

Correction on Tiger's bloodlines, if I may. Tiger is not quite half and half. He is roughly 75% Asian (Thai), 15% African, and 15% American Indian (can't remember which tribe). His mother is 100% Asian (Thai). His father was 50% African, 25% Asian, 25% American Indian). The percentages are rough approximations, as he has other bloodlines in him and on his father's side.

So when I work out the Punnett Square, Tiger's bloodline has the highest percentage of Asian blood, followed next by African, and then American Indian. He does privately identify as being Asian-American, but still Asian nonetheless, especially when he was growing up as a teenager. Asian-Americans, like Tiger and me, are proud of being American. We are also especially proud of our Asian heritage. Tiger has said this during his speeches at golf events held in his mother's native land, Thailand. We Asian-Americans see no conflict of interest in being proud of our country and heritage simultaneously. Thank you for your comments on the negative reps that I've received. My post was not intended to be racist, although it clearly as been perceived by many as being that. I hold no ill will towards those who have misunderstood my posts.

What you thought was a "hint of racism" in my first post was really a strong sense of pride of my fellow Asians and their accomplishments.

I stand by my previous post and I still sense a lot of racist undertones. If I had made a thread just like this entitled, "White dominance on the PGA and LPGA Tours", you all would be ready to label me a racist.

Call it what you want, but it came across as you saying something like, "Asians are better than everyone else" and to me thats racist. You have every right to be proud of who you are and where you come from, but when you make it sound like one ethnic group is better than every other ethnic group, Id consider that to be racist.

You may not. His mother is Thai, and 100% from what I know. For Tiger to be 75% Thai, his dad would have to be 50% Thai as well.

Your math doesn't work out, and this thread has run its course.

Tiger has said this during his speeches at golf events held in his mother's native land, Thailand.

Gee, you think he emphasizes that he's partly Thai while speaking to people in Thailand? Gee, next thing you know politicians are going to start sucking up to the particular crowd they're talking to at the moment.

Oh, wait... Like I said, enough's enough.
