This isn’t an April Fools joke, yo! Thanks to the generosity of Lac Su, the author of “I Love Yous Are For White People,” we’ve got another great giveaway for 8Asians readers.
So if you haven’t followed our advice to read Lac’s memoirs, or if you have already read this book and just want the companion t-shirt, this is the giveaway for you! People who’ve read the book kept telling Lac that if he would stamp the words “I Love Yous Are for White People” onto a t-shirt, they would totally wear it. So Lac made it happen with the help of Donnytello Tran from Neaato (who drew the illustration) and to Ryan Suda at Blacklava (for screening the image onto nice, soft, and comfy t-shirts).
It is so cool of Lac to create these shirts because he is using them to fundraise for Giant Robot Magazine and the Asian American Studies program at Purdue University, two organizations that need financial support. So if you don’t win the t-shirt in this contest and you want to buy one, they are just $20 and proceeds go to support these two worthy causes.
What you could win from Lac Su, Blacklava and 8Asians:
One t-shirt and an AUTOGRAPHED copy of “I Love Yous Are for White People” (book). (Two winners will be selected!)How do you enter?
Simply leave a comment answering the following question: Why do you think Giant Robot Magazine and Asian American Studies in universities are important for you to support? (The two best answers win, as determined by an esteemed panel of judges*)Hurry, the deadline to enter is: Tuesday, April 6 at 11:59 pm (Pacific Time)
TWO lucky winners will be selected and contacted later that week.Rules for entering:
1) Please be in the US or Canada. Sorry, we will not be shipping anywhere else!
