I watched borat (song posting day 5)

Ok so last night I decided to watch Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan because I’d been seeing a bit about Sasha baron cohen. I watched the Ali G Harvard speech, and liked it so I decided to watch borat. I was not prepared for borat. It was a bizzare 90 minutes of content, but kind of proved its point: America is/was in 2006 incredibly subtly racist in certain parts.

While borat was incredibly racist and sexist, and just generally discrimatory deliberately, cohen brought out subtle and not so subtle but normalised discrimination.

I didn’t like how racist and sexist borat was, but Sasha baron cohen is incredibly brave and very smart. What do you guys think about borat?

The song:
