no, they don't. but i give the side-eye if they disavow their blackness.
i had no problem w/Tiger's 'cablinasian' thing...b/c the blackness was right there in it - the 'bl' = BLACK. his point was that he didn't want to identify as white/caucasian or black or native american or Asian exclusively. he wanted to honor all of his (known) ancestry. that's fine w/me.
