The 8Asians Open Thread: Goodbye September!
Oops, the 8Asians Open Thread took a break last week but it’s back to close out the end of September. Most of the time, our discussions here revolve around Asian American stuff but here’s a chance to blab about whatever else. How did September treat you? Are you excited about Halloween? Are you sad about the Red Sox? If you’ve got something on your mind, share it with us.
The 8Asians Open Thread Is Back!
Yeah, we know. It’s been a long week, from discussions on immigration politics and the past ten years after 9/11 to racist party themes. But what else is on your mind? Share your thoughts with us. Did you see that crazy asteroid that flew through the Southwestern sky? Are you excited for Gears of War 3 to be released? Where do babies come from? Have at it. It’s all yours.
The 8Asians Open Thread
So, after trying this a couple of years ago, let’s do this experiment again: we’ve seen other sites doing “open threads,” so I figured why not try it here — most of the time we here at 8Asians ask you to keep it on topic, usually Asian American “stuff”.

Asian American Commercial Watch: 8Asians & MYX TV
While our Asian American Commercial Watch is usually relegated to hot girls on Target commercials, sometimes we write about other Asians in 30 second TV spots who catch our eye… because they look so familiar. Take this promo for Asian American cable channel MYX TV, for example. Haven’t you seen him before? I swear to god, I know this Ernie guy from somewhere but I can’t figure out where. And the baby eating thing sounds [...] Continue »

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 »

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?
