Le fossé se creuse entre les Afro-Américains et Tiger Woods, s'il faut se fier à cette dépêche de l'Associated Press sur la réaction de la communauté noire aux révélations concernant le penchant de Tiger Woods pour les Blanches. Même s'ils sont fiers de la domination de Woods dans un sport blanc, plusieurs Afro-Américains lui ont déjà reproché son refus de se définir comme un Noir (le golfeur s'est fameusement décrit comme un Cablinasian en 1997). Je cite un extrait de l'article de l'AP dans le texte :
When three white women were said to be romantically involved with Woods in addition to his blonde, Swedish wife, blogs, airwaves and barbershops started humming, and Woods' already tenuous standing among many blacks took a beating.
On the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner radio show, Woods was the butt of jokes all week.
"Thankfully, Tiger, you didn't marry a black woman. Because if a sister caught you running around with a bunch of white hoochie-mamas," one parody suggests in song, she would have castrated him.
"The Grinch's Theme Song" didn't stop there: "The question everyone in America wants to ask you is, how many white women does one brother waaant?"
Et combien de maîtresses blanches Woods aurait-il eues? Au moins six, selon la mise à jour du Daily News.
