Am I racist?

Yeah, it's Walsh, and I have to wonder how much is cherry-picked and staged.
He's pretty unlikely to produce a movie featuring the type of normal people who frequently vote Democrat and aren't completely obsessed with this bullshit.
Would Michael Moore make a move showing conservatives just sitting back having a nice Sunday afternoon with their folks?
Obviously, the reason for the movie isn't to ask the question that's in the title. It's to show how awful the other side is. If you know the answer before you ask the question, it's not an experiment.
Bias, much?

Bias, much?
Sure I'm biased, and obviously I haven't seen the movie, but I'm a firm believer in predicting that the future tends to be a continuation of the past. Based on past behavior I think it would be fair to say that I'm not nearly as biased or extreme in my views as either Mr. Moore or Mr. Walsh. I'd be happy to review any evidence that would refute that claim.

Ok watched the trailer. Unsurprisingly it looks like the same format as the What is a Woman movie. Will be an entertaining watch one day I'm sure.

Wait, I just saw the trailer all the way through. Was that Robin Diangelo at the end?
Okay, I will go to the theaters for this one, and it will not be a bleak day at all! -

Oh, she’s the exact opposite of sexy. A real horror show.

An actual reviewer gave an honest review…

Not a single review showing on the Tomato Meter, but plenty of actual reviews if you scroll down… Hmmm

I'm sure mainstream critics would be happy to register a review, if they hated it. Maybe they are exercising their option to say nothing, after seeing it and grudgingly granting that it's not too bad.
I tried to find any negative review online but came up empty. Spoiler alert, some of it sounds hilarious:

This right-wing youtuber held it to a high standard, and found it lacking:

One of the official critic reviews cited by Rotten Tomatoes was an NPR outlet in Los Angeles. The review was on a podcast. There are two reviewers who give their opinions on a slate of movies, seven in total. One of the reviewers was clearly in the LGBTQ community. Both reviewers gave their opinions of all the movies, except the LGBTQ guy recused himself from Am I Racist. I thought that was adult of him. He can feel his feels, but not feel the need to alert the world to his feels. The other guy thought it was ok, but that it might run into the same problems as Michael Moore films run into, with the divisiveness and lack of ability to convince anybody of anything, if they are not already convinced coming in.

Critics ignoring the film en masse. Uniquely ignored, in the history of Rotten Tomatoes. This is as close as we'll get to admission from the mainstream that the movie isn't terrible, I suppose.

Yeah, the Rotten Tomatoes thing is very odd and telling. It would be so easy to win pop culture points by completely dissing the movie. The fact that they aren’t?
