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.
