Matt Walsh returns with another provocative satire from the creators of “What Is a Woman?“
The 90-minute documentary “Am I Racist?” digs into the absurdities of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) industry. Walsh, in his signature deadpan style, goes undercover to expose how race hustlers have turned race relations into a carnival of guilt, virtue signaling and performative activism.
Starring “White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo, “Am I Racist?” promises not only laughs but a sobering critique of a movement spiraling out of control.
Whether you’re a fan of DEI or not, Walsh raises a question that everyone must confront: Are these so-called “solutions” to racism helping, or are they just stoking the flames of division?
It challenges viewers to think critically about the institutions we’ve come to trust—or, at the very least, fear. DEI has woven itself into every facet of American life, from kindergarten classrooms to corporate boardrooms. What started as a well-intentioned effort to confront racism has now morphed into a bureaucratic monster.
As Walsh’s mock interviews and undercover stunts reveal, DEI is less about justice and more about conformity while shutting down debate.

In “Am I Racist?,” Walsh takes a sledgehammer to the rigid, humorless landscape that DEI has created. His stunts are eye-opening as he attends seminars and participates in absurd exercises designed to make people feel guilty for things they didn’t do.
The spectacle feels more like a religious inquisition than a movement for equality. Walsh’s deadpan reactions to these scenarios provide a perfect comedic foil that makes it hard not to laugh at the absurdity. His target isn’t the individual but the broader ideological machinery, which thrives on division.
Through his interactions with DEI trainers and “experts,” the film lays bare a chilling irony: the movement claiming to promote inclusion has become a tool for silencing dissent.
One of the film’s core arguments is that DEI has shut down meaningful conversations about race. Expressing doubt or offering a different perspective is met with swift condemnation, often resulting in being labeled a racist or bigot.
This culture of fear is Walsh’s primary target, and his satire cuts to the bone.
Even more damning, Walsh reveals how DEI has now hijacked corporate interests. Big businesses check their diversity boxes, create virtue-signaling PR campaigns, and then move on, as any real conversation about race is buried in corporate-speak.
One of the film’s standout moments is when Walsh exposes corporations’ eagerness to preach DEI but failure to practice it meaningfully. He highlights the irony of multi-billion-dollar companies paying lip service to diversity while exploiting workers in developing countries.

Walsh wryly points out that DEI has become just another tool for maintaining power structures, all under the guise of progressive ideals. The film also skewers the media, academia and the political class, revealing how these institutions perpetuate the problems they claim to solve.
Walsh uses undercover experiments to show how rigid and inflexible DEI has become. Even the so-called “experts” seem trapped in their circular logic.
Despite the heavy subject matter, “Am I Racist?” is a comedy. Walsh’s sharp wit turns what could be a dreary lecture into an entertaining romp. But this isn’t comedy for comedy’s sake—it’s a scathing critique of a system built on contradictions.
Walsh walks the fine line between humor and substance, never allowing the jokes to overshadow the film’s message. The film may come as a refreshing wake-up call for younger audiences, who have grown up in the DEI-drenched environment. Walsh peels back the layers of social justice movements and academia to reveal how they’ve constructed a version of the race debate that’s increasingly disconnected from reality.
By the film’s end, Walsh does more than show that the emperor has no clothes—he reveals the DEI movement as stitching its own wardrobe together with guilt, fear and an autonomous narrative. The documentary isn’t just a takedown of an industry—it’s a rallying cry for those exhausted by endless virtue signaling and performative guilt.

The film underscores how empires built on the moral high ground eventually collapse under the weight of their contradictions, exposing a critical truth: while the DEI movement was born out of a genuine desire to address racial inequality, it has become a beast of its own, feeding off division and fear.
As Walsh demonstrates, even well-intentioned movements can become authoritarian machines more interested in power than progress. Finally, Walsh leaves viewers with one lingering question: where does DEI go from here?
Only time will tell, but “Am I Racist?” gives the movement a well-aimed nudge toward its inevitable reckoning.
