Even though Matt Walsh’s new comedy “Am I Racist?” covers an important topic, it’s still very funny. Just like he did with “What Is a Woman?” in 2022, the Daily Wire podcast host managed to expose the sham of left-wing activists, making them the butt of the joke without them realizing it, while simultaneously drawing attention to critical social topics.
Walsh sat down with Ben Shapiro for an episode of his popular “Sunday Special” series to discuss the humorous elements of this latest exposé, which explores the massive grift of the DEI industry.

First, Shapiro asked about Walsh’s acting background, mentioning how there are some parts in “Am I Racist?” where he needed to use those kinds of skills.
Walsh replied that he was in the critically acclaimed film “<a href="https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&amp;ai=DChcSEwj83L27pLaIAxX6WkcBHZ21KoEYABAAGgJxdQ&amp;co=1&amp;ase=2&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwufq2BhAmEiwAnZqw8nHkiXp3BKUUuv4Yornij2agR7I5N-ei8OmPDtdPZHxwrb9zrC6IGhoC72MQAvD_BwE&amp;sig=AOD64_2K9Svl46_PqXkv6cP5pQDxToMbvQ&amp;q&amp;nis=4&amp;adurl&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjgl7i7pLaIAxVMEVkFHZXBE7wQ0Qx6BAgbEAE">Lady Ballers</a>,” but beyond that had no formal training. “My process for acting is… I pretended… I figured, I’ll just pretend. That&#8217;s my whole process,” he said.
“It’s actually kind of easy,” Walsh continued. “Like, I think anyone can be a passable actor.”
Walsh also talked about his legendary ability to keep a deadpan demeanor even in extreme situations. “I mean, the answer of doing the deadpan is I was born without a soul,” the podcast host said. “I don&#8217;t know…  I&#8217;m an emotionless freak, I suppose is the answer. People ask me that all the time, but how do you manage that? Like, that&#8217;s just that&#8217;s how I am, I guess.”
“I guess when you have this thing of not showing emotions, you have to find a way to channel it,” he added.
Later, the pair discussed some of the preparation that went into the film, including Shapiro asking if Walsh had actually read all the anti-racist propaganda that was featured in the comedy. Walsh said he did read “White Fragility” in preparation for his conversation with author Robin DiAngelo.
“Truly, an awful piece of s***,” Shapiro said of the best-selling book.
“It’s horrific,” Walsh agreed. “So, you know from reading the book that it&#8217;s not only [that] the ideas are terrible, obviously, but it&#8217;s also just bad writing. It&#8217;s a slog to get through. There&#8217;s nothing entertaining. It&#8217;s just like being nagged while you sit there for hours reading this book. It&#8217;s just a very unpleasant experience.”
Walsh said he didn’t feel that it was necessary to read all the DEI books because they all repeated the same stale talking points. 
“Once you read one book… you get the idea. It&#8217;s always the same thing. It&#8217;s the same ideas. All the people we talked to in the film, they all have the same central thesis, which is that white people are inherently racist and are the villains of history” he said. 
The conversation inevitably turned to some of the people featured in “Am I Racist?” including DiAngelo herself. Walsh said he hasn’t heard from her team yet despite her being featured in the movie trailer, but that one extremely embarrassing moment did get included in the final cut.
“Probably a lot of them are sitting kind of nervous right now and thinking about embarrassing things they said and thinking like, ‘God, I hope that didn&#8217;t make it into the film,’” Walsh said. “I can tell them right now it did And to Robin D&#8217;Angelo in particular, there&#8217;s one moment that she&#8217;s thinking, ‘My gosh, I hope that&#8217;s not in there.” Oh it is, Robin. Oh, it is.”
