Topics
Matt Walsh主持了一个名为“我是不是种族主义者?”的游戏节目,通过一系列问题来探讨种族问题。节目中,参赛者就一些与种族相关的统计数据和社会现象进行讨论,例如黑人的平均刑期、连环杀手的种族构成、黑人女性戴假发的比例、以及不同种族对西瓜的消费量等。Walsh在节目中故意设置一些具有争议性的问题,并引导参赛者讨论其背后的种族含义。参赛者们对这些问题有不同的看法,有的认为这些数据反映了种族歧视,有的则认为这些数据本身并不代表种族歧视,只是反映了某些社会现象。节目中,参赛者们也对一些文化现象进行了讨论,例如对Cinco de Mayo的理解。整个节目充满了争议和辩论,展现了不同观点之间的碰撞。 Siaka, Bryson, Justine和Jacob等参赛者对节目中提出的问题给出各自的回答,并对这些问题背后的种族含义进行分析和讨论。他们有的认为某些统计数据反映了社会存在的种族不平等,有的则认为这些数据不能简单地归结为种族歧视。他们的回答和讨论体现了他们对种族问题的不同理解和看法。 Justine最终赢得了比赛。

The statement overlooks the broader context of crime, including gang violence, which disproportionately affects minority communities.

Why is the statement about 60% of adult black females wearing wigs, extensions, or weaves considered both right and racist?

The statement is factual but perpetuates a stereotype that black women are defined by their hair choices.

It misrepresents Mexican culture by incorrectly identifying the holiday, which actually commemorates the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

Why is the statement about African-Americans consuming the most watermelon considered racist?

It perpetuates a harmful stereotype rooted in racist caricatures of black people.

Why is the statement about 10 last names being shared by over 50% of the Taiwanese population considered both right and offensive?

Welcome to the show, "Am I Racist?" The only game that uses science to prove who is and who is not racist. Our contestants will be asked a series of questions. Whomever answers the most questions correctly wins the game. Let's meet them now. Siakka, Bryson, everybody. Justine, everybody. And loser of Mortal Kombat, Jacob, everybody.

Question number one. Once convicted, black people on average receive sentences 40% longer than white offenders of the same crimes. Is that right or is that racist? That is racist. Why do you say that? It just feels... Turns out you're right. That is racist. No, I think that's just reaching and trying to make it seem like black people have it worse off than they do. I think that's a racist statement to make. I think your explanation was racist. But you're also right. That is racist. So I'm going to say that's racist.

Yes, that is true. Sorry, Siaka. Oh, racist. On average, the sentences for convicted blacks are only 10% longer than convicted whites. Racist! Next question. Over half of all serial killers in the United States from 1900 to 2010 were white. Depending on which definition of serial killers, I feel like that's racist too, low key.

Matt, you got me on this one. It's really tight. This is going to be a shot in the dark. I'm going with no. It's not true. I'm going to go with that is right. Well, I guess it would be how you define a serial killer. Because is it like the quota of how many people that they kill? Well, yes, that's how you would define it. OK, if that's how you define it, then I would say that that's incorrect because gang violence often results in a lot of deaths. So I would say that that's not true. I think that's a racist statement to make. That's right.

Let's go. Wait, no. I'm saying the statement was right. You're wrong. Oh, I'm wrong. White people, over half of serial killers, we love to do the serial killing. Next question. As reported by the Huffington Post in 2014, roughly 60% of adult black females wear wigs, extensions, or weaves. I've seen quite a bit of

videos of fights on Twitter. Oh, and you think that's representative of the whole population? I don't know. That's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying. The videos of black women fighting each other and tearing their weaves, that's representative of the whole population. That's what you're saying. A video does not come to memory where a weave did not fly off. How many of these videos are you watching? I mean, Twitter's been around for a while and those videos get a lot of views. So, I'm going to have to say that that is right. And if I'm wrong, it's going to look really bad. Well, that's racist. But it's also right. Yes, that's right. Uh,

Hate to say it. Sorry, Mom. I think that's right. I'm going to have to say that is true, Matt. That's right. Unbelievable. Roughly 60% of adult black females wear wigs and weaves. Facts. Don't even keep reading. Yes. That's right. They do that. That's a lot of wigs and weaves. Question. Question.

Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of Mexico's Independence Day. Is that right or is that racist? Oh, that's right, Matt. That is right. I know that one. You do not know that one. That is racist. It's not just a drinking holiday. How dare you? I want to say it is. I thought it was a day we just eat... Everybody eat tacos and stuff. But I guess for sake of the game, I mean, Cinco de Mayo is like a big celebration, Independence Day for Hispanics. I'm going to say...

Let's get it. That's the one. That is racist because it shows that whoever wrote the question does not have a knowledge of the beautiful Mexican culture. Cinco de Mayo is the day of the dead, not Independence Day. Well, let's go to judges for that because you're correct. That's racist. But then your explanation was totally wrong. Cinco de Mayo is not the day of the dead. So judges, are we counting that as there are no judges out there? It's nobody. It's actually just me.

I'm going to say that that's you. That's so you get that one wrong. Unfortunately, that's how were they dressed at the school? Well, it's a it's here's a lesson. There's a lesson in this because you had it right. But then you kept talking. So just stop. Stop with the talking and you would have been fine. It's the celebration of their army's victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Well, I guess I'm your whole life. People have been stare. Why do you think people have been staring at you like you're a moron your whole life? Because of this next question.

According to the 1994 to 1996 study of factors affecting watermelon consumption in the United... Don't look at me that way. I didn't make these questions. Okay, I can at least give you a pass on that then. Factors affecting watermelon consumption in the United States. African-Americans consume the most watermelon across all demographics.

on a per capita basis. Look, I'm going to go with everyone loves watermelon. That's racist, Matt. And that is correct. Yeah, come on. I know my people. I know my people. I'm going to go ahead and give that one a big old W, facts. Can you just say that's right? Righteous. That's right. Just say that's right. That's right or racist. Both of them. If you're on Jeopardy, you have to answer in the form of a question or they kick you out.

This is a real game show. OK, OK, OK, I'm sorry. It is the correct answer. That's right. Let's just say that. That's right. That's right. That's right. No, it's not right. It's racist. What was the number again, please?

They consume the most. The number is most. They just consume the most? The most. The most. Just the most watermelons. That's bad. I kind of want to say right, just because stereotypes are generally rooted in some type of food. Of course you want to say right. Of course you want to say right. And that is wrong. That is racist. That is racist. It's actually Asians who eat the most watermelon. We're really leaning into the stereotypes, aren't we? That's literally the point of the game.

I'm going to have to go ahead and say that's right because there are a few foods that are stereotypical and I think there's some truth. Oh wow, is that what you think? You think the black people are eating all the watermelon? Because you saw that in your racist cartoons with your racist... Come on, you see that? Did you see that one? Did you see that in Twitter videos too, did you? You see the memes. You can talk all you want because that's still racist. Per the study, it's actually Asians who eat the most watermelon. However, 78% of malt liquor is consumed by black people.

Made that one up too, but it's probably right. Raceman! In Taiwan, 10 last names are shared by over 50% of the population. Is that right or is that racist? That feels right. 10 last names are shared by over 50%. Facts.

I've been wrong a lot, so I'm going to go against my gut here, and I'm going to say that is not true. I'm going to say that they have a diverse set of last names over there. Once again, you talked yourself out of a right answer because that was right. No, I'm going to go with that's right, Matt. Pretty offensive assumption, and it turns out to be correct. Yeah, come on, we're balling over here.

- Let's go, let's go. - The 10 names are Chen Lin Huang, Cheng Li Wang, Wu Lu, Sai and Yang. Hashtag pots and pans. That's on the card, you can't blame me, that's on the card. That was on the card. Asians are catching a lot of strays. - Yeah, you know. - Hopefully not to eat them though. - Oh man. - Well, ladies and gentlemen, the judges have tabulated the results and now it's time to announce the winner

of "Am I Racist?" And that winner is Justine, ladies and gentlemen. Justine is the winner of "Am I Racist?" Good try, guys. Good try. OK.

Okay, Justine, you have won your own box of Am I Racist? There you go. Thank you so much. I am also surprised that it was a woman who won. Not surprised that she's white, though. I'm just kidding.
