Tiger coined a word that incorporated parts of black, caucasian, asian, and whatever else he is. I've read that he doesn't consider himself "black" any more than he considers himself white, Asian, etc., and that he considers himself so multiracial that he isn't really a member of any race, and therefore is part of all of them. Kind of a Zen thing, I guess.

It irks me to no end when people talk about being half white/black/Asian, whatever. I tell my kids that our house isn't half their mother's and half mine, it's 100% their mothers and 100% mine at the same time. (In property law I believe that's called an undivided half interest.) So they shouldn't think of themselves as half American and half Chinese, they are both American and Chinese at the same time.

It's patronizing to divide people into half-race castes. Just to mess with big brother, I usually claim to be Chinese whenever I have to claim an ethnicity or race.
