His Father was half black. So Woods is 1/4 black, but is also Chinese, Thai, Native American, and Dutch. He actually doesn't consider himself an African-American - though the rest of society does for some reason.
Calling anyone with darker skin "black" is a throwback to slavery times - why do we still insist on doing it?
Obama is half-black, but I believe considers himself an "African American" (and if he didn't, society surely would). That's his choice.
