Darrell Hamamoto
Template:Short description Darrell Y. Hamamoto is an American writer, academic, and specialist in U.S. media and ethnic studies. He was a scholar of Asian American media and professor for almost 23 years at the University of California, Davis before retiring in 2018.[1]
Education
Hamamoto received his education at CSU Long Beach, Bowling Green State University and UC Irvine.[2]
Influential works
He created a 50-minute erotic film named Skin on Skin, which starred Asian American actors and actresses and addresses the desexualization of Asian American males. Hamamoto created another piece called Yellowcaust: A Patriot Act, which includes clips from Skin on Skin and information regarding atrocities committed against Asian Americans in the U.S.'s history.[3] His work has generated controversy for producing porn movies as research.[4][5][6][7]
Hamamoto was featured in both The Daily Show[8] and Masters of the Pillow,[9] which is a documentary about Skin on Skin.
Conspiracy Theories
Professor Hamamoto has promoted several conspiracy theories in both his academic and personal life. He has made several appearances on the far-right InfoWars radio program, hosted by Alex Jones, where he has promoted the white genocide theory, as well as a theory that U.S. Senator John Kerry and the Obama Foundation were involved to a plot to split Hurricane Lane into two separate storms via a secret directed-energy weapon housed in Antarctica.[10] Professor Hamamoto also made a 2014 appearance on the Red Ice Radio program.
