    It's not racist. I guess the same people who deternmine what is ironic are now determining what is racist.

    Yes, I'm sure Stevie called him a "black arsehole" just so no one would think he was talking about some other white Tiger Woods.

    ::)

    When someone is insulting another person and uses their race as part of that insult, it's pretty indefensible.

    If you call him fat, that would be intended as an insult, right? Replace it
    with black, you're using race as an insult. Racist.

    ^

    Why inject color at all? Why not just say "shove it up his arsehole?"
    Racist. I'm stunned that people with brains think otherwise.

    Seriously?

    If you were Asian and I referred to you as a "stupid fucking Asian," it's not racist, since "Asian" is a perfectly acceptable term?

    He could have said "his womanizing arsehole" or "his never-gonna-win-another-major arsehole" or "his swoosh-covered arsehole", no big deal. But black...just dumb, dumb, dumb.

    The color of Tiger's skin was part of the insult. I can't believe anybody could think otherwise.

    So someone offended by a racist remark is sensitive? It's not like he called Tiger ugly, or stupid. He made reference to his color, a reference that was totally unnecessary. He could have made his point quite well without it.
