In addition to Tiger Woods, the song may have influenced the WWE Professional Wrestling script-writers in their creation of the character Kerwin White.
Chevo Guerrero is a famous wrestler from the famous Mexican Guerrero wrestling family, and he often featured in some of the inter-racial storylines from the WWE ballet-soap-opera.
One such storyline led to his changing of persona to the extremely ridiculous "Kerwin White", a stereotypical, middle-class, white, conservative, Anglo-American man. He dyed his hair blond and often drove a golf cart to the ring which held his golf clubs. Rejecting his ethic heritage in favor of aspirations such as joining the country club was portrayed as negative and socially offensive. This was when he was running as a "baddie" or "heel" wrestler, whereas he had often been a populist crowd favorite as his natural Mexican self.
It was an amusing presentation of extremely pretentious upwardly-mobile-driven bad behavior and snobbery when it came to interactions with former associates and wrestlers from other ethnic groups.
You might also like to check out Henrietta Collins and the Wifebeating Child Haters' "Drive By Shooting"(featuring Henry Rollins), a mini-album Henry Rollins made with Henrietta Collins that features a couple of Afro-American culture issues seriously dealt to from a white perspective (although I can not attest to the ethnic group or gender of Henrietta Collins).
Again, like the Zappa song and the Kerwin White storyline, it just seems like artistic commentary. The Drive by Shooting mini-album seemed to anticipate gangsta style if not gangsta rap, although the title track and "Hey Henrietta" come very close. Thoroughly recommended R18 stuff !!
Oh, a couple of other things.
