DISGRASIAN at iWriteAboutMe Workshop in Vancouver | April 1, 2010
By Schema Magazine
Schema Magazine's iWriteAboutMe workshop of the month features the hilarious Jen Wang and Diana Nguyen, creators of DISGRASIAN , one of the most popular and influential Asian American blogs of our time.
It's no surprise either, because their unabashedly wry commentary on the outlandish, ridiculous and disgraceful in pop culture, music, politics sports race and identity, has won over thousands of fans in the online social network - and Schema is a BIG fan too!
How DISGRASIAN came to be:
A little ditty about Jen and Diana, two Asian American chicks who grew up in the Heartland. Jen was gonna be a football star, Diana was gonna be the first girl in NASCAR. Suckin' on chili dogs, outside the line at Pink's, Diana's eating Jen's fries, gets some ketchup on her sleeve. Jen says, Hey Diana, let's run off and start this blog, quit our lame day jobs and do what we please. Diana says, Oh yeah! Life goes on, long after the thrill of livin' is gone. Oh yeah...Jen says, Hold on. Are we singing "Jack and Diane"? Diana says, Hells yeah, we're singing "Jack and Diane." Where were we? Oh right...and together they go, Gonna let it rawk, let it ro-oll! Let the bible belt come and save ma so-o-oul! —From Disgrasian's "About"
