Asian Americans going on a date in a Wells Fargo commercial started by ErnieAtLYD
I saw this television ad for Wells Fargo last week and realized that this was depicting an Asian American man about to take an Asian American woman on a movie date. I think this is the first time I’ve seen an Asian American couple in a TV ad. If you slow down the commercial (at [...]

HOLY CRAP Asians-in-the-News of the Day started by ErnieAtLYD
I first heard about the horrifying murder on a Canadian bus yesterday, where a stranger gutted and decapitated another passenger for no apparent reason.
Witnesses said the victim was stabbed dozens of times in the Wednesday night attack aboard the bus as it traveled a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage [...]

Sho-yu Concepts started by ErnieAtLYD
Neat online store that sells asian type clothing apparel in a fun sort of way. Shoyu-Concepts has been nice enough to extend a promotion to all 8Asians readers.

They’ll take 10% your order. And I have to say that some of the designs [...]

For Chinese-Americans, Beijing Olympics bring mixed emotions started by ErnieAtLYD
With less than a week to go until the 2008 Beijing Olympics, I was wondering when I was going to come across this kind of article, as I had read in Sunday’s San Jose Mercury News’s “For Chinese-Americans, Beijing Olympics bring mixed emotions“:

A Comic With Standing started by ErnieAtLYD
Esther Ku on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. I don’t watch the show, but someone brought this to my attention and now she’s been drawing particular ire b/c of her “…asian women are out of asian men’s league” joke. I have to defend her on this… b/c there’s some truth it (the fact that some women feel [...]

How the Chinese Insist I Am Chinese started by ErnieAtLYD
It’s a classic part of the Asian American experience — a cliché, really — to be considered un-American while in America. Since we’re not white, we must not be American, and therefore the color of our skin invites the question: “So where are you from?” or the comment: “Your English is very, very good!” And [...]
Wanna be a Hiro? started by ErnieAtLYD
A friend recently asked me: “What would you do if you had Hiro’s powers?”
Hmmm. The power to stop time, go time-traveling, and teleportation. Hot damn!
Well, right off the bat, I thought: Would I use my powers for good? Or for evil? And would I have to wear tights? I hate tights. They’re so… constricting. [...]
