How the hell has Borat not been cancelled in 2020? It's a wealthy Western man caricaturizing a poor Kazakh in public spaces as a crazy and ignorant racist. He's basically inciting racism while wearing blackface and people are like, "He's so hilarious! haha"
For people claiming Sacha Cohen is "oh, so against PC-culture, he doesn’t care", then why does he retired his other 'satirical' characters like: Ali G (black culture), Dictator Aladeen (Arabs), Bruno (gay people)? Oh, that’s right, he is scared of 'cancel culture'. Cohen has a Golden Racism Pass for Borat because American 'cancel culture' is veeeery selective on who they target, and this is due to the famous American ignorance. Here is the loophole: all ex-Soviets countries/cultures are free to ridiculed. American humor has always been about making fun of other countries. They also love making fun of immigrants’ accents. But since they don't want to be seen as racists (even though they are), it's their loophole to still make jokes at the expense of certain nationalities. It’s a vile double standard.
Borat is a racist caricature of a central Asian person, no it's not funny, and no it's not 'satirising racism' to perpetuate hateful stereotypes about Central Asia. And miss me with the, 'this movie mock America and not Kazakhstan' shit. Can you imagine the outrage it would provoke if the very same movie was filmed mocking black people? Or trans people?
And meanwhile, Sacha Cohen is the spokesman for the ADL which polices the portrayal of Jewish people. Oh, the irony.
