Am I Racist?
2024 documentary by Matt Walsh
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.
Plot
Matt Walsh, reflecting on the past and present state of racism in society, decides to engage with anti-racism experts and activists. After being ousted from a support group focused on "white guilt," Walsh decides to take on a persona similar to that of the gender studies professor he interviewed in What Is a Woman? He goes on to receive a DEI certification, and assumes the identity of a "DEI expert."
Subsequently, Walsh convinces passersby to sign a petition to rename the Washington Monument the "George Floyd Monument," raise the structure by 30 percent, and repaint it black.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2024 documentary by Matt Walsh” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q127830620. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024 and 2022.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
