Borat and Anti-Semitism

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, however, presents jews more mercilessly with a considerably high saturation of anti-Semitism. According to Nathan Adams, “not only does it walk a tightrope of political correctness, but it also disrupts almost sacrosanct boundaries.” The film clearly associates Jews with social problems in such a way that it explicitly states that they are the problem itself.
