As a counterpoint, I'd put Vijay Singh in the top 20 golfer list of all time and I dare say he is NOT accepted by 'white' America because of his semi-controversial nature.
What about Monty?, and Garcia to a lesser extend. It's more of a US versus Non-US thing. The whole Ryder Cup thing has turned up the heat reguarding this issue.
