The Borat routine is racist and insulting. Would it be considered acceptable if the actor was doing blackface? Just as blackface is not acceptable, for the actor to be doing this routine should not be considered acceptable.

The first film released a decade ago was filmed in a Gypsy slum of Romania. Even the Roma Gypsies had no idea he was making a film mocking them. Poor Kazakhstan has been humiliated by his character.

They should use actual stereotypes such as kazakhs eating horse. The kidnapping your potential bride thing was pretty accurate.
