Am I Racist?

I watched the Matt Walsh Daily Wire documentary Am I Racist?

It does an entertaining job of skewering DEI consultants.

It could have been better. Many of the DEI opinions are so ridiculous that it is hard to believe anyone really saying them.

Robin DiAngelo seems like a scammer, but the bigger issue is that Google, Netflix, Amazon, and others pay her the big bucks to say what she says. So she is just playing a role, and doing as she is paid. I would like to see why those companies hire her, and how those corporate seminars go. Do those companies really think that her seminars reduce racial animosities or misunderstandings, and make the employees more productive by working together better? It is hard to believe.

If I had to take such a seminar, I think that my main takeaway would be to assume that all Black people hate all White people. Whites should just avoid Blacks, because Blacks will show hostility to Whites no matter what.

Is that really what these companies teach their employees?

Walsh's previous movie mocked those sex experts who could not define a woman. That is, they deny that sex exists. I would have liked him to similarly go after those who deny that race exists.

Also, I would like to see the next step, and explain why sex and race matter.

DiAngelo is misunderstood:

DiAngelo describes white fragility to be a defensive response by a white person when their whiteness is highlighted or mentioned, or their racial worldview is challenged, whether this response is conscious or otherwise. ... DiAngelo proposes that white people are used to viewing themselves as "raceless" or the "default" race, and as such are insulated from feelings of racial discomfort.

In other words, most Whites are not racist, do not think about race, and get offended when you call them racist. She learned this doing corporate seminars that largely consisted of falsely accusing Whites of racism.

Some would hear this, and conclude that the White were doing it right. DiAngelo takes the attitude that if Blacks hate Whites, then Whites must have something to apologize for.

Again, she is just a grifter. Why are companies giving her millions? Why is her book required reading in colleges? Why did it get good reviews and sell millions of copies?

Maybe Walsh will make another movie where he goes after bigger fish.
