Saira Rao Privately Slams ‘Am I Racist?’ As ‘Nazi White Supremacy Film’

One of the anti-racist activists featured in “Am I Racist?” is privately attacking the Matt Walsh film to her supporters as a “fascist Nazi white supremacy film,” according to The Post Millennial. 

Rao, who has gained prominence in recent years for challenging white women to accept their racism, is warning her fans that she was “conned” into being a part of the film, and imploring them not to see the movie, a source who attended one of Rao’s events told the outlet. 

“By the way, we should tell you,” Rao told a group attending a virtual anti-racism book club, according to the source. “We haven’t even talked about this. We are the subjects of an upcoming Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro film. All the big cinemas are carrying this Nazi s***, Regal, AMC.” 

“Don’t go see it because nobody needs to pay that dude money, but Regina and I along with a crew of maybe half a dozen other people including Robin DiAngelo were conned into being part of this fascist Nazi white supremacy film,” she said, The Post Millennial reports. “So, anyway. You can Google it.”

Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!

Rao and her business partner Regina Jackson offer what they call Race2Dinner, in which white women pay for a two-hour meal with the pair of anti-racism activists. The meals “require white women to participate in very direct, exceedingly difficult conversations” about racism. 

In “Am I Racist?,” Walsh attends one of these dinners and gets the white women to literally toast being racist, a clip of the film shows.

In this scene from my upcoming film “Am I Racist?” I was honored to earn a seat at the table during a Race to Dinner session. I was even more honored to lead the women in a toast to racists. Tickets on sale at https://t.co/iJv1cNRoWV pic.twitter.com/o7kriAG0X3

Rao’s recent comments on the film came during a Race2Reading event, a virtual book club series that spun off from the dinner series, The Post Millennial explains. It occurred on August 14, and cost $50 to join.

The virtual event was advertised as “an enriching experience in an intimate setting.”

The Post Millennial’s Libby Emmons writes that it’s a shame Rao and Jackson’s followers won’t go see “Am I Racist?”

“Undoubtedly, the dutiful white women will not go see the film,” Emmons writes. “If they did, they would see an honest account of their dinner series, where white women hang onto Rao and Jackson’s every word as tightly as they grip the stems of their wine glasses.”

The two women are the co-authors of “White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better.”

Rao and Jackson are not the only activists featured in the film attacking it as it hits theaters. Robin DiAngelo, the prominent anti-racist author of White Fragility, told her followers on Thursday that she got played by “a Borat-style mockumentary” that is “designed to humiliate and discredit anti-racist educators and activists.”

Another activist who appears in the film called it a “piece of s***.”

“Am I Racist?” opens today in over 1,500 theaters.
