Jesse Washington notes that "[w]hen three white women were said to be involved with Woods in addition to his blond, Swedish wife, blogs, airwaves and barbershops started humming, and Woods' already shaky standing among many blacks took a beating."
Woods "declines to call himself black, famously choosing the term 'Cablinasian' (Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian) to describe the racial mixture he inherited from his African-American father and Thai mother." According to Washington, a Pew poll "showed that 94 percent of blacks say it's all right for blacks and whites to date, but a study published this year in Sociological Quarterly showed that blacks are less likely to date outside their race than are other groups."
