If he knew anything about science, he'd marvel at the multitude of effects Tiger Woods can put on a ball with any one of the 14 clubs in his bag. And, if he knew what it took to develop such skills, he may not be among the mob of idiots who'd like to string him up. He's like any pampered athlete. They're denied a normal life and live on clouds of adulation and worship. False sense of security. It's among the hazards of professional sports. |

Taken out of context, that could be considered bigoted. Mr. Woods does not consider himself a "black" American as he is of mixed race/ethnicity, but because his skin color is brown and of relatively the same hue and tone as President Obama, you assumed he considered himself a Black American - you've stereotyped Mr. Woods as an African American when he isn't - by his own description. To carry this even further as an intellectual exercise, bigoted may be the wrong word as bigoted is defined as "utterly intolerant of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own" which seems a little out of context. A better way to have put it would be to substitute biased for bigoted because bias leads to prejudice which is described as "a person's bias is based on facts, but prejudice occurs without a person knowing or examining the facts". Thus, you are actually prejudiced because you assumed that Mr. Woods is black. Just sayin. Although I did find it mighty interesting that Mr. Woods only "dated" white women a majority of which were blond. If THAT isn't stereotypical, I don't know what is. :) Oh, and before you go all icky balooky, the above was done in jest - a way to point out the absurdity of placing everything into the perspective of "race". |

Maybe E-Harmony.com and Trojan In this country, "worth" is determined by money. It's a sad commentary, but it's absolutely true. In publishing, a reasonable measure of worth is the number of books sold. That is the consensus, and some have non-average taste, of course. However, the authors chance at a Hugo award is proportional to number of readers and so is the writers income. Merit pay. Casady |
