From Wikipedia:
"Matt Walsh (born June 18, 1986)[1][2] is an American right-wing political activist, author, podcaster, and columnist."

So, it's going to be right-wing garbage. Judging by the title alone.

"Am I Racist?" Really? That's a question only white people who watch Fox News would ask. It's a denial of reality, a denial of the fact that white people have a position of power in WEstern societies, and a natural advantage. Everyone knows that. Even Fox News and Trump know being white in America is an advantage to be leveraged at every opportunity.

The title of this movie is a joke in itself.
I'm white first of all and I will admit, if you're white in America (or Canada or UK) it's an advantage, and you have racism baked into yourself. That's just life. That's just being white. Black people have some racism built in too, that's just called biases.

Everyone has biases, everyone is predisposed to a certain way of thinking, based on their skin color, where they were born, where they grew up, who raised them. So, I'm a white person, and I'll admit I can be racist sometimes. That's just inevitable. It doesn't mean I try to be or that I'm proud of it, or that I'm racist all the time, but there are certain biases that everyone has and that's just part of being in ANY race, any ethnicity, white black indian brown whatever.

I would never ask myself "Am I Racist?" Because that question itself is just one big denial. Every one has a little bias. Everyone is a little racist. That's part of being a human. For certain 'Fox News' watching white people to try to set themselves apart from everyone else, and say they are not racist at all whatsoever, is idiotic.

It is a comedic documentary. I suggest you have a day off and lighten up.
