Am I Racist? is an upcoming American documentary comedy film about racism and anti-racism, starring conservative political commentator Matt Walsh.^[2]^[3] It is directed by Justin Folk for The Daily Wire.^[2]^[4]

The film follows Walsh as he goes undercover as a "bumbling DEI trainee" attending anti-racism workshops and interviewing experts and others.^[2] The film is scheduled for release on September 13, 2024.^[5]

Premise

The film follows Walsh as he interviews several people about inherent racism and asking if he is inherently racist. The film sees Walsh assume the identity of a "D.E.I. Expert", an anti-racist beatnik and performs several pranks under the guise of educating others about racism, such as speaking to people about racism, conducting a workshop about racism, and petitioning to rename the Washington Monument as the "George Floyd Monument".^[6]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released on September 13, 2024. It will be the first theatrically released film by The Daily Wire.^[5]

Reception

Prior to its release, Rachel Leishman of The Mary Sue heavily criticized Am I Racist?, stating that Walsh proves that "[racists] are ignorant of their own racism and they don't care to change it", but is "too lost in his own racism to recognize that."^[7]
