Michelle Wie: American or Korean?

[Bluenoser67]

American when she's winning - Korean when she's not.

She went to school and trains in USA, so, she is an American. Period.

[BallMarker]

One more thing.

If you live here and embrace the American culture and you want to be an American, you are an American.

I hate it when people come to this country and don't give a damn about our culture. If you're going to live and benefit from living here, be an American... or at least pretend like you appreciate why you CHOSE to live here.

Here is a link describing the three seperate native tribes that make up what is called Korean today. http://kimdh-lovek.blogspot.com/2010/02/three-ancient-tribes-in-korea.html?m=1

I can't believe four people responded Korean.

First time I've seen this thread and I can't even believe such a question could be contemplated. I'm usually not in any sort of politically correct crowd but this is ridiculous.

If she "looked" like a "typical" Caucasian nobody would know or care where her parents immigrated from.

One thing is for certain, Michelle Wie is 8 years older since this thread was started.

. Very bizarre Bump. And to answer the original question. She is as American as me. I was also born in the US. End of story.

I voted Korean because I want to see if the networks change the flag based on this TST poll.  Its our call, after all, isn't it?

All that is not important. What important is could you concentrate on your putting line if she was putting on tbe same green as you yes or no? I am a no. That technique she has is far too distracting. I might forget to putt even.

Depend where I was stood!

I think I read some where that at one time she held duel citizenship, but she had recently renounced her South Korean citizenship.

She's 100% American.

I read somewhere that she once made it on the green on a 590+ yard par 5 in two shots. Not to shabby.

The LPGA is lucky to have her.

[Topper]

Ridiculous question which you answered in your own post.  She's American unless you feel Hawaiians are not Americans.  But your question now has me "confused" if I'm American (or not) since I have a mixed heritage which does not include Native American. [sarcasm alert]

Sorry to be anal but it's "dual" not "duel".

Unless they were battling to see which one she would keep.

Well if that's the only mistake I made that day, I still did pretty well. Did you forget a comma?
