Diversity article

This article is about Tiger Woods and how the society alienated him from the black community. In the past, this article says that the black community has claimed Tiger Woods as one of their own, people are so used to thinking Tiger is black that even commentators refer to him as black or african/american. Tiger Woods is half african american and half Thai, even so people continue to call him african american. Black people were claiming Tiger as one of their own because he was on top of the sports world, was one of the highest paid athelete and had never had so much as a hint of scandal in his life. But recently ever since Tiger has gone down the popularity chart blacks have somewhat abandoned him and began to question if he's really black at all.

This is news because it affects a large population on foreign sports players and the community that supports them.

I don't agree with people not supporting Tiger Woods just because of a screwup. Everyone screws up but eventually they improve themselves and the african american community will claim Tiger once again. I think this shows how much loyalty black people have for Tiger Woods.
