I do not care much at all for racism. But comedians like Dave Chappelle and Carlos Mencia who poke fun at the stereotypes are hilarious. I haven't seen Borat yet, but I have a feeling I'm going to get an ab workout seeing this one.

Many popular comedians have reused material very similar to the comedians they grew up with. Look at acts by Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryer, Bill Cosby, Robin Williams, George Carlin, Gallagher, Chris Rock, etc. and you'll find a lot of overlap there too. It doesn't make them any less entertaining. Besides, Andy Kaufmann wasn't very funny.
