I made no commentary on appropriateness. I commented on what this says about him.
We know why she married him. If he was a fry cook, she wouldn't be seen dead with him.
But that has nothing to do with something being appropriate or not. It is just commentary on their motivations for choosing who they did to marry. That cannot be either appropriate or inappropriate. It just is what it is.

You are a moron. Let me walk you through why you're a moron.
While your choice in a mate may say a lot about you, the color of your mate alone does not say as much as you think it says. You assume that Tiger Woods (who is multi-racial and not just black) hates who he is because he didn't marry a black woman. You assume that he went looking for white women and ignored all black women. You assume a lot of shit that you shouldn't. Hell, you assume that she wouldn't want to be with him if he wasn't a famous, rich golfer. Hopefully you assume that he wouldn't want to be with her if she wasn't hot.
If you knew either one of them (and I'm going to assume that you don't), you would be in a position to make some assumptions. But it's pretty clear you don't know shit.
Marrying outside of your race today is not the same as it was in the 60s. You tend to have relationships with the people you spend time with. You may say that Tiger chooses to not spend time with black people, but that would be stupid as well. Tiger plays golf. Golf is a white man's sport. He met his fiancee through another golfer (a white one. surprise!). I don't think he is making efforts to shield himself from black people. I don't think he is making efforts to surround himself with white people. I think he has made friends from the group of people to which he is most exposed. And I believe his best friend from college is Asian. What does that say about him under your ridiculous theory?
Tiger spends a lot of time raising money for people of all races. He is a student of the game and knows more about the contributions of African Americans to golf than anyone you know. It is disappointing that he has chosen to go the way of Michael Jordan -- transforming himself into a brand that needs to appeal to all types of people, instead of being a person with actual opinions on things -- but I don't think his choice of wife says what you seem to think it does.
And I still think you're a race-baiting piece of shit.
