Are you kidding me?????

Borat is nearly the most racist movie in history, overtly degrading the pple of #Kazakhstan. Yet many get "cancelled" for misusing a certain words out of context.

So Sacha Baron Cohen & authors get a free pass by the "left" because he attacks Giuliani?
I blocked every person who wrote "Borat is parody", don't be a snowflake, etc. Yes, I know it is parody. My point is the double standard with "parodies": if racist jokes (actually insults) are allowed for some races & not others, it is racism in its worst form.
I visited Kazakhstan a few times. Every time, locals brought the subject & insisted that Borat was not representative, that it was unfair, that it cause a lot of damage, etc.

One day I mistakenly called the driver, whose name was Marat, "Borat". It led to a huuuge reaction.
It feel warm to get these messages (some public, some private) from people from Kazakhstan.

To conclude, either all categories are open game, or NONE. You can't apply political correctness to some, but not others. https://twitter.com/khudaibergen/status/1320091792579219457?s=20
