"Most people in Kazakhstan realised rather quickly that the film was aimed more at an audience in America than in Borat's homeland. Sacha Baron Cohen's main objective seemed to be to get an outsider's view of the US and reveal the prejudices of the Americans who Borat interacts with – prejudices that most people in the US would like to pretend don't exist. He was functioning as a sort of 21st Century Alexis de Tocqueville. And once it became clear that this was Baron Cohen's aim, most ordinary Kazakhs lost interest in the Borat phenomenon altogether." https://www.bbc.co.uk/culture/article/20161028-what-kazakhstan-really-thought-of-borat?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2F
