Quick! Buy A Ticket To “Am I Racist?”
What’s the best way to unmask a flock of fools? Let them talk.
Daily Wire podcaster and master satirist Matt Walsh does just that in his genius full-length film, “Am I Racist?”
In this documentary, Walsh deadpans his way through interviews with some of America’s most prominent DEI disciples and lets them talk as he nods along.
In the process he produces one of the best comedies ever made.
That is not hyperbole. This film is hilarious.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what one of America’s most popular podcasters - Joe Rogan - had to say when he interviewed Walsh last week after watching a screener of the film in his home:
“Your movie is really funny. It's really funny. By myself, laughing out loud hysterically today. I watched it in the sauna, I watched it in the gym, I watched it. It was, it's one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time. because there's so many moments that are so uncomfortable.”
There’s a reason not one major publication - besides The Wall Street Journal - has reviewed this devastating look at the DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion) industry.
In a piece headlines “Matt Walsh’s Hilarious New Film Asks: Am I Racist. His Documentary Exposes The DEI Industry By Letting Practitioners Discredit Themselves. “
An assessment of the DEI literature, published in the Harvard Business Review in 2012, was titled, “Diversity Training Doesn’t Work.” According to the article, one study of “829 companies over 31 years showed that diversity training had ‘no positive effects in the average workplace’ ” and that millions of dollars were spent annually on “training resulting in, well, nothing.“
To make the movie, Walsh posed as a man-bun sporting, skinny jeans wearing, anti-racist activist documentary filmmaker. As such he gained access to some of DEI’s most prominent names. These unsuspecting race hustlers charged his crew spectacular sums of money to record their silly seminars and one-on-one interviews.
Apparently no one in DEI industry simply gives away their secrets to ending racism.
Of course what they charged Walsh’s crew is just a fraction of what they extort from corporate America and educators as they attempt to brainwash America into believing that all white people are racist and people of color are their victims.
Victimhood, it turns out, is very lucrative.
Yet it is Walsh’s guileless performance that elevates this movie to the level of comedic genius. He doesn’t entrap the DEI hustlers with trick questions. He doesn’t selectively edit their interviews to twist their words. Walsh merely poses as a curious white man on a “journey” and lets them talk.
Boy, do they talk.
Endless word salads, cliches and cringe-inducing nonsense are spewed by the DEI hucksters as they spread the gospel that America is a hopeless cesspool of hate and prejudice, while raking in megabucks. They preach that this malady can only be cured when white America experiences 100% self-loathing and repents.
I saw the film Friday night in a crowded Virginia Beach theatre. Sitting directly in front of me were four African-Americans who laughed as loud as we did.
As the lights came up one of the guys turned around to offer us a QR code on his phone in case we wanted to pay him reparations. That will make sense if you see the film.
Last time I saw him, he and his friends were debating whether “Am I Racist?” was even funnier than “What Is A Woman?” Walsh’s earlier mockumentary that’s available online.
I can answer that:
Hard as it was to top the laughs in the gender-bending expose, this is even funnier.
Quick. Buy a ticket. This is the uncomfortably hysterical film Hollywood and the left doesn’t want you to see.
But once America begins laughing at them, the race grifters and their lucrative DEI industry are toast.
