Imagine a digital space that's hyper-customized to meet your unique vision, where a chat with AI results in a breathtaking storefront that's got your brand all over it. A business-ready site, stacked with all the e-com tools you need to manage and scale your store. Sounds like a stretch, right? Wrong.

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. Siaka. Siaka.

Bryson, everybody. Justine, everybody. And loser of Mortal Kombat, Jacob, everybody. Question number one. Per 2014 statistics, Colombia produces the most cocaine in the world. Is that right or is that racist? Since that's the second thing behind coffee that I know come out of Colombia, I'm going to say yes. That's right.

Columbia produces the most cocaine. I think that's right. I think that's big facts. Those are very big facts indeed. That is right. Matt, I'm going to have to say that is right. And I watched the show Narcos and that was... We don't need the whole story. That is correct. That is right. Well, I've seen quite a bit of movies that deal with drug running. So I'm going to have to go ahead and say that that is right. That's right. You got that one right. Columbia. Off to a good start.

Turns out Colombia not only first, but produces more than second place Peru and third place Bolivia combined. Racist! Question number two. 70% of Indian Americans over the age of 25 have a college degree, making them the most educated group of Asian immigrants in America. Is that right or is that racist? Well, you know Indians. They really be. They know how to code and stuff. Are Indians classified as Asians? From the country of India? Yeah. Yeah.

Where do you think India is, Jacob? Well, Matt, when I went and visited Princeton, there were a lot of Asian Americans, and Princeton is highly renowned for being a good school, so I'm going to say that is also right. You did say activist, so I do know my statistics. I'm going to say yes, Matt. I'm going to say that's right. That is right.

70% of Indians got college degrees. They're definitely number one on the household income. I'm going to say that's a fact. That's right, you mean? Yeah. That's the rules of the game. You're saying that's right? Yes. Turns out that is indeed right. Let's go. 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 killer, I feel like that's racist too, low key. My head says I shouldn't, but my heart says...

True, yes. I'm gonna 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. Okay, 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. Question number five, I think. Kim Jong-il sentenced his uncle to death by feeding him to a pack of 120 dogs. Is that right or is that racist? Well, Kim Jong is a crazy maniac, so I'm going to go with yes, he did. That's racist. Oh, no, he didn't. He just shot him.

I'm going to say sure, yeah. Let's go with right. You finally got one wrong. That is racist. The dog number is kind of crazy, but I'm going to go ahead and say that that's right. That's racist. That is racist. It sounds like it's racist, but you know what? Because it's him, Kim Jong-un, that's how you pronounce it correctly? Kim Jong-il. Il? This was the distinguished father of the current dictator, Kim Jong-un. This was his father. It's a fact. I think it's a big fact, yeah. I think it's... He did it.

It's correct. It's the right answer. I understood your answer. It's just wrong, unfortunately. What? That is racist. Dang. Well, as reported by the newspaper, the Korean government says it's false, and we know we can trust the North Korean government. Turns out he wasn't fed to dogs. He was just simply shot in the head. Not so bad. Next question. All right. Over 50% of Uber drivers are either Black or Hispanic. I want to say that's racist.

That is correct. That is, in fact, racist. Oh, for sure. For sure.

That's wrong. That is racist. What? Man, no. I don't believe that one. I ain't going to lie to you, big dog. So I'm going to say that is racist. 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. That's right. That is racist. I knew it. Only 18% are black and 14% are Hispanic. Thankfully, not a lot of Asian Uber drivers. Isn't that the truth? They're bad at driving. Crazy.

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. Is that how were they dressed up 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 staring. Why do you think people have been staring at you like you're a moron your whole life? Because of this. Next question. Brain.

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. As a non-watermelon eater, I get shamed for it by family, friends, and a bunch of other people. So I'm going to say that's a fact just from personal experience. Well, turns out that's racist. Dang. 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... 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 gonna 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... Did you see that one? Did you see that in Twitter videos too? 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. - Racism. - 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 ten 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. Hopefully not to eat them, though. Oh, man. Crazy.

Next question. On a percentage basis, black kids aged between 20 and 25 years old are more likely to deal drugs than white kids of the same age. 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. 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. Okay, okay, okay. 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. I might say that's right, just culturally. That's racist. Um, I have listened to a lot of hip-hop growing up, Matt. I'm going to say that's true. That's racist. That's racist.

That is racist. Dang it. It is right, but I'm not racist for saying that because Obama said that in a speech, so I get a pass in saying it too. Both you and Obama are racist. That is racist. Survey says 6.6% of whites age 12 to 25 sold drugs, 5% of blacks the same age. So we're dealing the drugs and we're doing the serial killing. We got it all covered. We got all the bases covered, don't we? Next question.

The average alcohol consumer in Ireland has 39 drinks per week, the highest among any nation. I want you to know, before you answer this, I am of Irish descent. My family is from Ireland. I cherish my family deeply. So is that right or is that racist? Well, Matt, I am also Irish, and I want to proudly say that's right. That's 100% right, Matt. That is 100% racist. Oh. What? I'm going to say that's right. I mean...

Every Irish person I know gets drunk all the time. So I'm going to say that is correct. That is racist. That is very racist. In fact, drinkers from Mali, an African Muslim nation, consume 39 drinks per week. The Irish only consume 21. Though as an Irish person myself, I'm trying hard to make the difference. Am I racist? I think we're getting there. Question.

Among all religious groups, Muslims account for the highest percentage of the total prison population in the United States. Is that right or is that racist? So considering the fact that when most people go in, they may not have a religion, but when they come out Muslim, I'm going to say that's right, Matt. A lot of folk get in prison and convert to Muslim. So I think that's it. I think that's right. I'm going to go with racist. That is correct. That is racist.

No, I guess I think I would say that's wrong because Muslims don't make up such a high percentage in the United States compared to the rest. That is correct. It is racist. 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. But Justine is the winner of Am I Racist? Good try. Good try. Okay.

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.
