Top Hamas official answers the questions #AskHamas couldn’t

Hamas is a complicated and multifaceted organization. It simultaneously encompasses three distinct identities as a social movement, political party, and armed forces.

Elected to majority control of Gaza’s government in 2006, Hamas’ military and political bureaus have separate leadership. If it is, as some Western nations label it, a terrorist organization, it’s probably the only one the world that collects taxes and pays out salaries with social security.

The #AskHamas conversation was quickly co-opted by a deluge of critics who weren’t exactly looking for a deeper understanding or any serious intercultural dialogue. Many questions were left unanswered, so we decided to ask Hamas ourselves and get some real answers.

"I'm not racist, my wife is Asian!" What it's actually like looking Asian with a far-right, anti-feminist white father, and a self-loathing Asian mother who hoped for privileged "white, blue eyed babies." An appraisal of fetishes and self-hatred.

Why does it seem that the men that pursue Asian women as a "last resort," are generally the most strange, racist, spiteful and hateful people - especially against Asian men, other minorities and white women? If Asian women prefer white men - why is this, and what happens to the children - especially if they look predominantly Asian? Compiled by Asian-looking Eurasians and Hapas themselves. A community effort to explore the unintended consequences of "white fever" and "yellow fever", racism, fetishes, power imbalances, stereotypes, and the effect it has on a staggeringly large, growing, and unexplored new demographic. Why does it seem the children of Asian men and white women fare better and are more successful? Why is there such a double standard against Asian men and white women, whereas Asian women essentially default to white men? What happens when Half Asian sons resemble Asian men? Why do so many white supremacists, alt-rightists, and white nationalists have Asian partners? Why do racist white men fetishize Asian women, and why do Asian women fetishize white men - and what does that mean for the children? Compiled by the son of a racist white father and a racist Chinese mother.
