Haha. Bad example. I remember when Tiger had just turned pro and reporters asked him how it felt to be a positive role model for young black people. I think this was just after the LA riots. Fcuk, he blanched (hehe) and mumbled something about not being black but 'cablinasian' (sp?). Asshole. Guy's a great golfer and his wife is smoking but when it came time to do something righteous he pussied. 
No, he did/said the right thing at the time.
Throughout his life, he's lived with the fact that his father was Black and that his mother was Asian. But once the world was able to unleash its full fury upon him, he was put into a situation where he was made to feel that he had to make a choice.
Dealing with racial identity issues or questions in the media is not Tiger. That's not who he is, it's not what he does. MAYBE that will change in the future (once he has a child, perhaps), but for now, his job is to be a good husband and to play golf.
I don't think everyone has an inherent obligation to do the 'righteous' thing. When I look at Tiger, I think, "There's a great golfer who happens to be Black" even though he is half-Asian. And in truth, it doesn't really matter. You see, when I took my 4-year-old daughter to watch him play, she said, "There's Tiger Woods!" and that's all that needed to be said.
Even though her mother is White, she will always be shown that anyone can achieve anything regardless of skin color. &guy doesn't have to come out and
declare that he's Black in order to be a positive role model for Black youth.
