Joz’s cousin Daniel Liu — yes, THAT cousin — who’s been featured quite prominently on our blog and various other Asian Am blogs for being the newest male supermodel, was interviewed by NPR. In this audio interview, he talks about his new career, and the buzz that’s being generated.
And, no, contrary to popular belief, 8Asians.com is NOT the homepage for Joz’s cousin, though we are looking for hunky Asian male vloggers willing to bare their souls (though probably not much more — this ISN’T a porn blog, perverts) for a potential vlog. Hell, if Disgrasian can feature hot Asian chicks, why can’t we do the same for the boys?
About Efren
Efren is a 30-something queer Filipino American guy living in San Francisco. In the past, he was a wanna-be academic even teaching in Asian American studies at San Francisco State, a wanna-be queer rights and HIV activist, and he used to "blog" when that meant spewing one's college student angst using a text editor on a terminal screen to write in a BBS or usenet back in the early 90s.
For all his railing against the model minority myth, he's realized he's done something only a few people can claim--getting into UCSF twice, once for a PhD program in medical sociology which he left; and then for pharmacy school, where he'll be a member of the class of '13. He apologizes profusely for setting the bar unintentionally high for his cousins.
