What happens

Am I Racist? is a 2024 American satirical documentary comedy film starring conservative political commentator Matt Walsh as a "bumbling DEI trainee" investigating the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) industry. It is Walsh's follow-up to his 2022 documentary What Is a Woman? The film features unscripted vignettes of Walsh interviewing and interacting with real-life DEI consultants and anti-racism educators — among them author Robin DiAngelo and educators Regina Jackson and Saira Rao — who are unaware of his true identity. Produced by The Daily Wire with executive producers including Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing, the film has been widely compared to Borat in its use of subterfuge and ambush-style comedy. The film was theatrically released in the United States on September 13, 2024. It had a production budget of $3 million and grossed $12.3 million, making it the highest-grossing documentary film of 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
