ABC found itself in an embarrassing situation after being fooled by conservative commentator Matt Walsh during the promotion of his new film, ‘Am I Racist?’
The network was tricked into giving a platform to Walsh, who posed as a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expert, only for him to later reveal the film as a satirical takedown of DEI culture.
The incident occurred during a segment on ABC4’s Good Things Utah, where Walsh appeared in character as a DEI specialist. He gave a convincing interview, telling the hosts, “You are stretching out of your whiteness. You’re de-centering your whiteness,” which was met with enthusiasm by the show’s presenters.
However, the true nature of the film was later exposed, revealing that Walsh’s appearance was part of the broader critique of how DEI initiatives are often more focused on financial gain than genuine social change.
The film is billed as a satirical documentary in which Walsh transforms himself into a certified DEI expert. As the story unfolds, he exposes what he views as the hypocrisy behind corporate DEI programs. The movie has already received glowing reviews from conservative circles, with a 99% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Walsh, known for his provocative stances on social issues, has been promoting the film heavily on his social media. ABC has yet to issue a formal statement in response to its inclusion by Walsh. Meanwhile, the trailer for ‘Am I Racist?’ continues to gain traction, especially among those critical of DEI initiatives.

It’s so easy to fool liberals, they will fall for anything. Walsh is a genius, I hope he continues to show how gullible people are.
DEI is the new affirmative action, nothing more. Racial preference and discrimination. As long as you discriminate against the right people, you’re good. These people with White Guilt are the most embarrassing fools amongst us.
Fuck ABC, they are racist and hate white people.
Shows you how stupid and follow the leader to do what you know is wrong in the first place .demos are the dumbest people ever.They never use your own mind to make any kind of reality ,they just go with the flow of others ha ha ha . Give them anything free and they are your forever . dumb ass idiots.
Well, in all honesty, it isn’t really that difficult to baffle a leftist,, just tell ’em the truth and watch their eyes start to spin, their cheeks glow red, their hair stands on its own, and if you could see it their little buttholes are all puckered.
