From a (black) e-friend:

You wrote: “I think Robinson’s probably right that Woods has a number of insecurities and “control” issues. But what if the opposite facts were at play, and Woods had affairs with less conventionally attractive black and Asian women? Would Robinson argue that such multicultural infidelity spoke well of Woods?”
“less conventionally attractive” black and Asian women? OK- i don’t know what you meant by that phrase but I am going to assume that you didn’t mean that you think conventionally speaking- Swedish women (blonde/blue eyes) are hotter than black or Asian women in some objective manner (and if you do i could send you some links which I am sure your wife wouldn’t appreciate but would blow that theory out of the water on a case by case basis). But as for the article in general, what Eugene was getting at in his very-vague-on-purpose way, was what the below AP article asserts more directly — that is that certain blacks are finding that the fact that so far no black or Asian women made it into Tiger’s cheating is a sign of his own racial identity as first commented upon by blacks with his whole cablasian comment on Oprah years ago. While some whites may view Tiger’s refusal to discuss race related politics or similar as a sign he just wants to be a golfer and is above race… some, I repeat SOME blacks view it more of a sign that he wishes he were something other than black. Unfair yes, untrue probably. But in case you didn’t know it before Tiger and his marriage to his hot blonde former model wife and his ensuing parade of white mistresses… many black women resent it when successful black men marry non-black women. And by resent I mean hate it with the heat of a thousand supernovas (trust me on this). This is all intra-black identity issues and inter-racial marriage issues re black men and white women going back decades, you guys would do well to steer clear of it.

I’ll take his advice and stay well clear of all that. But as for what I meant by “less conventionally attractive black and Asian women” was fairly straightforward. Robinson introduced the whole idea that the Barbie-Playboy look is an American stereotype of beauty. That’s what I was referring to with the word “conventionally” — as in the Barbie look is a cultural convention. I don’t mean to suggest that there’s some platonic ideal of beauty that black and Asian women fall short of viz a viz white women. Maybe I could have said it more clearly. But that’s what I meant.
