Effective Immediately: 8Asians New Commenting Policy
Over the past couple of months the discussion on this blog have been lively and intense on a variety of topics about entertainment, politics and identity issues. More than 90% percent of the conversation has been welcome. But a recent string of comments have proved downright nasty; more concerning to me is the dialogue that has included personal attacks against particular individuals and groups of people. More importantly, many people writing these comments hide behind [...] Continue »
Korean Food Gallery Hungry For Korean Food Enthusiasts
I absolutely freakin’ love Korean food. Now, it may be the Korean pride in me talking but I think non-Koreans here can agree that for those who have tried it, the food is pretty fantastic. Whether it be the kimchi, the garlic-infused ingredients in nearly every dish, the charcoal BBQ pit (and those all you can eat restaurants), the bibimbap, the chilled naengmyun, and plethora of other choices, Korean food is hella dope. That’s why [...] Continue »

New Feature: Moodring Asks You How You Feel About A Post
So you want to give your feedback to a post on 8Asians, but let’s face it: writing a comment takes time, requiring to log a comments platform — sometimes, you just want to let it be known to the world how you feel about something anonymously, especially if you don’t really have that much to say about it. And forming written sentences can be difficult; have you seen Sarah Palin’s tweet stream?
Open Thread: What are your Holiday Traditions?
Merry Christmas Happy Early Lunar New Year by a couple of months Happy Holidays, from all of us at 8Asians.com! Our family being the standard Chinese converted-Baptists ripped apart by parental divorce and family problems, our family traditions have been less the sitting around eating Christmas Ham and steamed rice, and more taking my mom out to the Elephant Bar for lunch. I am, however, eagerly looking forward to Sunday, where a bunch of 8Asians.com [...] Continue »
