There is still a great deal of racism in America as this video clearly demonstrates. Borat (Sasha Baron Cohen) exposes it with great hilarity - the joke being on the racists...but then reality sets in and you realize that in our "country there is problem." Don't let anyone tell you otherwise because the Jews and other races face the same battles - probably more so for other minorities than the Jews.

1. Sasha Baron Cohen exposed himself as a creep

He still hasn't commented on why he exploited and misled the dirt-poor Romanian gypsies who he made fools of for his film.

2. I agree. He makes people humiliate themselves and thinks its OK>

3. How do you feel about Mel Brooks ?

A rousing redition of "Springtime for Hitler", anyone?

SBC's humour can be a hit and miss affair, his genius is letting odious people string themselves up. The classic interviews I have seen as Borat, as well as Ali-G, are pant-wettingly funny.

Come on, 'Throw the Jew down the Well' may have made you squirm with embarrassment on behalf of the Cowboys but you must be able to see the funny side, however dark the humour may be.

5. I like Mel Brooks.

As far as making fun of Hitler its alright with me. Making fools out of racist and their ilk is also Ok with me.

4. i laughed my arse off during the movie

didn't find out about the shenanigans with the Romanians until afterwards. Given how much money the film made, I hope he will go back and right his wrongs.
