Matt Walsh’s bold new film, "Am I Racist?" is a fearless look at the DEI industry, race-baiting grifters, and the Left's obsession with division. We all know that liberals have no sense of humor (and can’t meme either) which makes Walsh’s new film “Am I Racist?” a leading contender for best comedy of 2024.
What’s so funny about “Am I Racist?” is that, as the Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley explained, Walsh poses as a liberal activist who is earnestly and hilariously seeking the counsel of unsuspecting DEI experts. He reveals how much they charge for their services.
Robin DiAngelo, author of the bestselling “White Fragility” received $15,000 for about two hours of her time—and the kind of gobbledygook advice clients get in return. To his credit, Mr. Walsh’s approach isn’t mean-spirited or adversarial. He poses straightforward questions and lets his interlocutors discredit themselves. Along the way, the DEI industry is revealed to be something of a racket, and such proponents as Ms. DiAngelo look like highbrow grifters.
And Walsh’s formula is apparently working.
“Am I Racist?” had a "Top 5 Box Office Debut," has a 98% Audience Score and is verified HOT on Rotten Tomatoes.
But don’t take our word for it.
Go to Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ podcast for a no-holds-barred conversation between Dr. Roberts and Matt Walsh on the movie and what’s really at stake in the culture war and how conservatives can reclaim the narrative.
For all the hilarity, as Jason Riley pointed out, “Am I Racist?” is performing a public service. Of late, more companies have been willing to jettison their DEI policies, and more states are moving to restrict such initiatives at public colleges and universities. “Am I Racist?” could encourage those trends, which would be a good thing because there is little evidence that making racial differences more salient on campus, in the workplace or anywhere else helps anyone other than people who earn a living as DEI advocates.
A couple of the CHQ team have already seen the movie and pronounced it a “laugh out loud” winner. To find a theater in your area and buy tickets online go to https://www.amiracist.com/
