Several “contributors” to Matt Walsh’s new film “Am I Racist?” deleted their X accounts ahead of the film’s premiere.
The film, produced by the Daily Wire, shows Walsh exposing the world of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. He attends seminars and events focusing on affirmative action while also conducting interviews with DEI advocates.
Ahead of the film’s Friday, Sept. 13, release, several interviewees deleted their X accounts.
“White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo was among those to deactivate. She features in several scenes within the movie, including one where she awkwardly pays a black producer $30 in reparations (despite being paid $15,000 for the interview). DiAngelo also put out a statement on the film to whine about being misled into doing an interview with Walsh.
“This is a shame. I was hoping she’d stay here so we could celebrate the release of our film together tomorrow,” Walsh wrote on X the day before the film’s debut. “She’s really the star of the movie. She should be proud of her performance.”
Others to delete their accounts included Kate Slater, an “anti-racist scholar” who teachers her four-year-old about racism. She did however responded to the film on Instagram.
“This piece of shit film comes out on Friday,” she wrote on the platform. “If you’re wondering why I’ve been off the radar, it’s because I have an inbox full of angry white men who are incensed that I don’t let my daughter dress as Moana for Halloween.”
Two other people featured in the film, Sarah Rao and Regine Jackson, who host “Race 2 Dinner,” where white women pay an exorbitant amount to be lectured about their racism, also deleted their accounts.
All of those who deleted their accounts are featured in the film’s trailer (at the top of this article).
Many on social media were delighted to see the departures.
Others argued that the film’s interviewees contributed to their own demise.
