Yeah, the Borat antics were a little more superficial than I wanted. Most of it was slapstick that quickly got tedious and Walsh is working off the Con Inc idea of race relations so he had nothing significant to say. The Race2Dinner segment where he dropped like 3 plates as a waiter was the hardest to watch.
What is a Woman is a far superior doc for many reasons, one of them being it was so easy to trigger the libs he interviewed. Most of the encounters in Am I Racist were duds with inert braindead libs and a super goofy Walsh falling back on his podcast cadence rather than actually trying to go undercover. The Robyn DiAngelo interview was probably the best one since he succeeded in putting her on the hot seat.
If your only criteria is it's not fiction then Project Veritas / OMG and vlogs are documentaries - but they're not, they're investigative reporting or candid camera.
This is what Walsh did, a collection of Project Veritas videos arranged in a narrative.
You can pretend that's a documentary, but when your definition includes Jersey Shore you've made it so encompassing it's worthless.
It shouldn't be awarded in even a neutral Oscars.
It's a relevant and important movie, eye-opening for some, but it's not good and certainly not great.
The entire problem with the Oscars is they would give an oscar to a "He is racist" movie about how Matt Walsh is racist.

Ok, what 5 documentaries released in this eligibility year did you think were better?
Any 5 of them? It's not even a documentary, it's a narrative journey.
Departure on adventure, trials, climax, return.
Documentaries don't have these things.
Name any 5 documentaries you feel were better than AIR.
That's what a documentary is. They tell a story, it's just not a fictional one. And this is an undercover look into DEI.
