MotoMongolia: Polish bikers invade Mongolia
Winning moment - around 16:30 when the meet Kazakhs. Their child asks, "are you all bandits?" Cuteness overload.
Ultra hardcore gang fight
>> ^illeto:
Note that this is in Kazakhstan.
The land of Borat.
And they are Asian? No!
I heard Borat was filmed in Romania because those people look more like what Americans think Kazakhs look like.
Kazakhs are Mongoloid, as are Uzbeks, Kurds, Turkmenistanis, Turks, and a lot of "Chinese," among others.
Glad I didn't see the "Happy" tag. That would have been a dead giveaway.

Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People
"Borat is not so much laughing at Kazakh people as he is laughing at people who have a lack of knowledge of other cultures" - sure, this is part of it. Look at the way he exposes the ignorance of some Americans. Are you arguing that he uses an ill-informed stereotype to expose those who hold ill-informed stereotypes? The problem with that, is it assumes that people are aware of using stereotypes, or become aware by watching Borat. I'm still worried that a lot of people watch the film and have their prejudices about central asian Muslims reinforced.
btw - Sacha Baron Cohen's brother Erron brought out a great album of Middle Eastern music called 'Zohar' - mixed Arab, Muslim and Jewsih music together - very well produced
Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People
Hehe funny you should mention Borat, my father is actually from Kazakhstan. And to me and him it's actually hilarious, anyone who is from Kazakhstan would immediately tell you Borat is not one. Borat is not so much laughing at Kazakh people as he is laughing at people how have a lack of knowledge of other cultures. The joke is on the westernized people who usually think they know more about the world simply out of status economically in the world.
Borat's Response to Kazakhstan's Government
The Kazakh's don't really mind unless people are stupid enough to believe Borat.
