There are a lot of blogs out there. Blogs about cities, blogs about adorable animals, blogs about wine and coffee and everything in between. I haven’t noticed any decent, well written blog collectives about Asian-Americans, or Asian-American life, or life AS an Asian-American. Not just politics, but politics to lifestyle to entertainment to just about everything in between. (Actually, I correct that: Hyphen Magazine’s blog is quite good. But that’s a sole voice in a virtual sea of voices and opinions of the Asian community.)
Will this be the blog that can handle all that? Well, we certainly hope so. 8 Asians is a collaborative blog of eight different people of Asian decent. We’ll be posting about whatever Asian issues are currently relevant in our lives, whether it be pop culture or current events or politics. Think “The View,” with Star Jones and Rosie O’Donnell and that chick from Survivor, and how they they can barely stay in a room without arguing about something. Now, replace them all with Asian-Americans and Asian-Canadians. Yeah.
Interested in writing for us? We’re always looking for writers that can talk about the Asian American experience, or just your experience period, and how it relates to you, the Asian American. Contact us for more information.
8 Asians is in association with POP 88, hosted by Christine Miguel.
