Who is Borat?
Borat Sagdiyev is a fictional character played by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. He is a Kazakh who is a caricature of the stereotypes about the lesser known poor countries of Asia, with customs and mores considered dubious by the West.
Borat is known for being very racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, ableist, and homophobic. He practices incest and is seen as overall heavily contradicting the good manners and sophistication of the west, although he tries very hard to learn. He continuously shocks the American people he encounters in the films. Borat has become a global celebrity, a cultural phenomenon beloved by fans of spectacularly obscene comedy.
Sacha Baron Cohen has spoken out about the character’s origins and development in interviews.
“The reason we chose Kazakhstan was because it was a country that no one had heard anything about, so we could essentially play on stereotypes they might have about this ex-Soviet backwater,” he explained to Rolling Stone. “The joke is not on Kazakhstan. I think the joke is on people who can believe that the Kazakhstan that I describe can exist — who believe that there’s a country where homosexuals wear blue hats and the women live in cages and they drink fermented horse urine and the age of consent has been raised to nine years old.”
