Daily Wire host Matt Walsh on Thursday gave viewers a first look at his feature-length DEI comedy “Am I Racist?”
The clip shows Walsh’s run-in with a “Grieving White Privilege, Anti-racist Allyship Training” support group, an encounter that made Walsh realize he needed to wear a disguise.

“I want to know that my physical safety and yours and everybody else’s here is okay,” one woman in the group says in the clip.
“Is it because I said I had 17 black friends?” Walsh asks the group members. “It might have been 15. It depends on how you count them.”
Group leader Breeshia Wade next asked Walsh to leave and another attendee stood up to escort him out. “I would like if you left,” the man says.

After admitting to being Matt Walsh, the podcast host says, “I was just here on this journey that I’m just starting, but I can see I’m not wanted.”
“If you were here on your journey, then you would have told us who you were. Your real name. But you didn’t,” Wade replies.
“Are you saying I need a better disguise?” Walsh asks.
“I don’t know, maybe?” the group leader responds.
The next scene shows the police outside the building as a voiceover of Walsh continues the story. “I did everything I could to fit in,” Walsh says. “I opened up. I was raw and emotional. I told them about my black friends. It was no use. They rejected me. And they called the police.”
Then the documentary filmmaker shares his discovery. “I’ll never be accepted if I look like this,” Walsh says. “If they know that I’m Matt Walsh, I’ll always be an outsider. I need to go deeper undercover. A whole new identity. If I want to be an ally, I need to look like one. Like someone who is progressive, tolerant, enlightened.”
The scene cuts to Walsh remembering University of Tennessee assistant Psychology professor Patrick Grzanka, whom he met while filming “What Is a Woman?” Walsh decides to copy the prof’s exact look, from the tweed jacked to the wire frame glasses and blue oxford shirt. He tops off the disguise with the ultimate progressive accessory: a man bun.
WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI
This new extended look at “Am I Racist?” comes on the heels of the movie’s trailer, which shows Walsh pulling back the curtain on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) industry by going undercover in their midst and hosting events and interviews, even getting the chance to interview “White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo.
Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing said he hopes the film will expose the DEI scam.
“We want the film to reach every corner of America, not just The Daily Wire’s core audience or political conservatives — and I truly believe with a nationwide theatrical release, this film has the power to be the final nail in the coffin of the DEI and the so-called ‘antiracism’ movements,” Boreing said.
The film is set to be in hundreds of theaters across the nation on September 13. Fans can purchase tickets to a showing near them at amiracist.com.
