YouTuber Jeremy Jahns Ripped For Daring To Review ‘Am I Racist?’

Despite Matt Walsh’s documentary “Am I Racist?” being the number four film at the box office over its opening weekend and outperforming major Hollywood productions, mainstream critics have completely ignored its existence. 

Reviewer Jeremy Jahns, who has almost 2 million YouTube subscribers, was accused of being racist and attacked on social media after daring to post his reaction to his channel.

“The Left has labeled Jeremy Jahns a racist and a sell out simply for reviewing my film,” Walsh posted to X on Monday.  “This is how they play the game. Viciously denounce anyone who positively acknowledges the existence of the film so that other critics will be too afraid to follow suit.

He included a post reaction from Matt Jarbo, host of the podcast Hollywood After Dark, that said, “Midlife crisis Jeremy Jahns is not the villain origin story I was expecting.”

“Jeremy Jahns has always sucked. It’s amazing people valued his opinion at all. Him being a racist and a centrist coward is not surprising in the slightest,” another said.

“Confirmed racist,” a third person agreed.

“I can’t think for the life of me why Jeremy Jahns would shine a light on a person like Matt Walsh and ‘give him a shake’ except that Jahns got a juicy offer from the Daily Wire in the form of connections or payments or some other form of transaction,” a fourth wrote. 

Jahn’s review of “Am I Racist?” on YouTube has more than 400,000 views. He starts off the video saying he intitally thought, “Maybe I should just skip this one,” but ultimately decided to see and review the movie. “The fact that that entered my mind is kind of one of the points this movie makes,” he explained.

The critic said he had heard “Am I Racist?” being described as a “Conservative Borat” and decided to watch it because the movie was available in theaters. He said he appreciated Walsh’s method of asking a lot of questions in the film.

“Matt Walsh is surprisingly funny,” Jahns added.

The reviewer said the movie made him laugh and it made him think, especially during scenes of regular people not living in the bubble who had no idea what Walsh was talking about when he started using terminology that’s common among DEI activists and allies. 

“I thought, interesting questions or counter examples worth asking or presenting were presented,” Jahns said. “Are these experts with their workshops and their books really trying to heal the world, make it a better place, or are they perpetuating the problem, keeping it around, because they found something to monetize?”

Jahns concluded to say that all in all, he had a “good time and some good laughs” while watching “Am I Racist?”

The film currently has a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and no critic’s score. “Am I Racist?” is now playing at theaters nationwide.
