Both he and Obama are half black.  Actually Tiger\u2019s dad Earl was a mixture of Black, Chinese, and Native American.  When the black people clamoring for the first black president (are they really that insecure?), I think in the process as if to say Obama\u2019s white mother didn\u2019t exist?  It&#8217;s the same way with Tiger, as if to say his Asian Mom isn\u2019t in the equation.  We Asians could care less if Tiger claims himself a Black or Asian or even orange or eggplant i nthat matter, we love him equally, not becasue of his skin color but for his contributions to the world.  Race should only be skin deep.  I think we Asians have that confidence.  Why didn\u2019t Obama stand up to reiterate that he\u2019s half white?  \u56fd\u6bcd is white, no matter how you dice the story.<\/p>\n<p><A href=\"\nhttp:\/\/www.golf.com\/golf\/tours_news\/article\/0,28136,1881174,00.html\">Danny Lee<\/a> is a new kid on the block of the golf green to watch. I think he&#8217;s probably more of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Danny_Lee_(golfer)\">Korean Lee<\/a> than Chinese Lee \ud83d\ude42 It&#8217;s so remarkable that so many good Korean golfers around nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>Today March 8th, is the Ladies&#8217; Day \u4e09\u516b\u5987\u5973\u8282 and I lost 3 sets in a row this morning &#8211; 6:3, 6:1 (with John) and 7:5 (with William).  What can I say, just not my day.  And I did a pretty disgusting thing by giving up a game.  We were on serve and I was serving duce at 1 set to 2.  It was perhaps the 8th duce and I double faulted it.  Not entirely intentional but it could have been avoided. I was really tired \u2013 not a good excuse.<\/p>\n<p>Last Thursday was a better day for me tennis wise, won 3 sets convincingly with Larry.  The 4th was a give away that I threw in the towel: couldn\u2019t move my feet any more, and I was experiencing new symptom: cramp in my thighs.  First it occured in my right and then the left didn\u2019t want to be left out so it joined in by third set.  I was so relieved n happy to won the third set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m glad to see Tiger&#8217;s speech when he mentioned only the military at Obama\u2019s party.
