Advocacy groups are calling for the Borat sequel, starring Sacha Baron Cohen, to be barred from the Oscars and Golden Globes for “promoting racism in entertainment” and “portraying Kazakh people as misogynistic, incestuous, anti-Semitic, and barbarous.” Several advocacy organizations have called for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm to be banned from competing in the industry’s awards after the film earned an Oscar nomination and two Golden Globe nominations, according to a report by Fox News. The organizations say that Sacha Baron Cohen’s flick is guilty of “normalizing, promoting and monetizing whitewashing, ethnic stereotyping, cultural appropriation and racism in entertainment.” “Mr. Cohen went beyond any moral or ethical standards in portraying Kazakh people as misogynistic, incestuous, anti-Semitic, and barbarous,” said Gia Noortas, CEO of Hollywood Film Academy. “Due to this harmful misrepresentation, more Kazakhs today will face racial abuse, bullying, humiliation, and dehumanization.” The groups are now “calling on the film award organizations worldwide to publicly condemn whitewashing and cultural appropriation, stand against racism and racial hatred and remove Mr. Cohen, his cast, crew and film ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm’ from their respective competitions this year.” “We understand that the nature of comedy is to test the limits of what is acceptable, but not at our nation’s expense,” acknowledged Noortas, who went on to say that the film is nonetheless “racism, period.” “It’s racism, period,” said Noortas. “Racial abuse of Kazakh minority should not be the last refuge of racism in Hollywood. Kazakh women have become targets for harassment, Kazakh children are being bullied, Kazakhs worldwide face discrimination.” Borat Subsequent Moviefilm is the sequel to the 2006 mockumentary-style comedy Borat. The film follows Kazakhstani journalist Borat, as makes his return to the United States, this time with his daughter — played by Maria Bakalova — where the two attempt to carry out a “secret mission.” https://www.wionews.com/entertainmen...res-why-348338 |

I can see why the kazakhstani people would be offended although it's pretty clear it's not a serious portrayal either

It's a Comedy fgs!
Films should only be being banned imo if they promote murder of innocent people, rape, or paedophilia as heroic things. Otherwise just don't watch.

Maybe just graciously accept that his comedy is not for you (which is fine, the latest Borat was rubbish) and move on? You're walking yourself into it, here.

See, I find it hard to believe his self-revisionism that his comedy is to poke fun at western perceptions when he knows exactly who his target audience is the average viewer of Borat isn't walking away thinking about the people that Borat is interacting with as much as they're thinking about Borats funny voice, anti-Semitic comments etc, because ultimately Borat is the centric character.
Who is America definitely achieved what he was seemingly aiming for better IMO. |

Sacha is a very bright guy that can be hilarious one moment and pure cringe the next, a bit like most comedians
I like him in small doses |
