This week, conservative political commentator Matt Walsh’s new film Am I Racist? is released in cinemas across the US. The film follows Walsh as he dons skinny jeans and a man bun to speak undercover with various antiracist experts.
In one memorable scene, Walsh sets up an interview with antiracist academic Robin DiAngelo, in which he pretends to be a concerned citizen interested in her ideas. First he talks her into supporting segregation: it would be fair for her and a black colleague to take separate hallways, she concedes, after that colleague complained that she hurt him both by smiling too much at him and smiling too little.
