Matt Walsh's 'Am I Racist?' Documentary Critiques DEI Movement

The film uses undercover tactics to expose and satirize diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

Matt Walsh's documentary, backed by The Daily Wire, grossed $4.5 million in its opening weekend, making it one of the highest-grossing political documentaries in recent years.
The film features Walsh infiltrating DEI events, including a 'Race2Dinner' session, where he disrupts proceedings to highlight what he sees as the absurdity of DEI practices.
Walsh paid significant sums to interview subjects, including $15,000 to Robin DiAngelo, author of 'White Fragility,' who later expressed feeling deceived by the film's intentions.
Despite facing distribution challenges and lack of mainstream media coverage, the film has gained traction, particularly in conservative-leaning regions.
The documentary has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it mocks efforts to address racism, while supporters praise its critique of the DEI industry as exploitative.
