    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Am I Racist' delves into race, bias, and DEI initiatives, lauded for its humor, interviews, and social experiments. Matt Walsh's performance and the film's thought-provoking nature receive praise. However, critics argue it lacks depth, oversimplifies issues, and relies on satire over substantive critique. Some feel it misses opportunities for deeper engagement, opting for humor and "gotcha" moments. Despite mixed opinions, the film is recognized for initiating crucial discussions on race and identity.

    Comedic documentary.

    Am I Racist?

    The film explores the varied approaches to that question and what it means to be Anti-racist. From talking to Anti-racist experts to patrons from a southern biker bar, many different viewpoints are on display.

    Matt Walsh takes his deadpan humor and gets his DEI certification to meet with people like Robyn DeAnglo (White Fragility), and other voices behind the Anti-racist movement.

    The film exposes the amount of money Anti-racists get paid from the people trying to become anti-racist. There are a few people on the street/ biker bar that share their thoughts on race and racism in America, that was enjoyable.

    There are some really hilarious scenes and some good chuckles through out.

    A recommended watch.

    The people who need to see this, won't

    Definitely worth the watch, though the people who would benefit most from checking it out won't. So this is essentially a "preaching to the choir" situation. Still, it was pretty funny and had relevant points to make. Walsh does a good job of just sitting back and let these people who profit off of manufacturing "racism" everywhere just bury themselves with their own ludicrous words. Will it change their minds? No, because people like this who are hell-bent on keeping "racism" alive (even though, as Thomas Sowell said, it's on life support) stand to lose too much if the problem goes away for the most part. Video review to come shortly.

    Dude needs to let people talk

    So much of what the interviewees are saying is ridiculous and they talk themselves in circles. They make outrageous statements about inherent white supremacy, and draw so many invisible lines it's honestly sad. The fact that people pay to go to seminars to talk about how evil they are is so so sad on its own.

    For whatever reason that's not enough for this guy. He's constantly trying to make jokes (that never land) then repeats them over and over. The intent is clearly to make everyone feel uncomfortable But it totally takes away from the impact of what he's trying to prove.

    It's sad because this could have been an amazing and impactful mockumentary, but instead ends up boring. My grandmother used to say you have to ears and one mouth for a reason, and this guy needs to learn that lesson.

    Great Dive into the Racism Controversy

    I've been a fan of Matt Walsh's since i watched "What is a Woman" and this movie was just as good in my opinion. It's definitely not for everyone. It definitely exposes what's going on in the world today with everyone calling everyone else racist which a lot of people are profiting from. Some of the moments in this movie can seem a little long at times, but not too bad. There were also a few moments in the movie where I was just wondering how there can be people like this in the US. How Matt Walsh kept a straight face while making this movie is amazing. If you are curious or not about watching this movie, just go see it.

    Brilliantly sarcastic take on the racism and hate industry

    This is the first movie in a long time where the arguments being presented are so absurd - so logically cork screwy -that laughter rolled through the cinema. There are horrible racist acts happening in our society - but the conclusion that our society is racist to the core, or that we are all racists, is bunkum. This film sets out to show the DEI industry (and cult) in all its intellectual shoddiness.

    The skill of this film is to depict exactly the absurdity of these ideas.

    Walsh is a remarkably skilled actor - wins the Borat award for straight faced interviews with people tying themselves up in absurd arguments. There are so many scenes that begin with a grave and seriously proposed premise...that then get taken by the 'white guilt/society is totally racist' workshop and TV show crowd to total farce.

    A broader theme - brilliantly presented and established - is the degree to which we, as a society, have become a herd of grazing sheep, digesting whatever the media (of any type or any ideological leaning) present to us as "expert" information. The film is a must see as to how we are all being manipulated unless we keep our critical thinking skills in shape.

      Matt Walsh: That confuses me too, cuz' I don't wanna mansplain.. Or whitesplain..

      Robin DiAngelo: Yeah, okey.

      Matt Walsh: What is? Maybe that's an important..

      Robin DiAngelo: Yeah?

      Matt Walsh: ..Segway. What is mansplain?

      Robin DiAngelo: Well it would be you, explaining to me either why, what you just did wasn't sexism. Or explaining..

      Matt Walsh: [interrupts] I don't think that's what it is, I think mansplain is to make an assumption. To say something in an assuming way.

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits, Matt makes a phone call to the bookstore he visited at the beginning of the film, and asks them if they still have the book (seen briefly when Matt was there) which he knew the title of, but couldn't say the name of.
