Isn't Cohen a jew though?
So is taking the piss out of himself/religion, whereas Davidson is just a racist prick?
Oh, and Davidson is as funny as bell-end cancer.

I've never seen him play a Jewish character
You mean Borat? The guy supposed to be from Kazakhstan?

There is a difference between him and Davidson
Sacha takes the stereotypes to extremes and tries to subvert them, and makes fun of us.
Davidson is a racist.

The very nice girl I met from Kazakhstan a few years back disagreed.
The fact that they had to film the scenes from Borat set in Kazakhstan in Romania is also a bit of a clue.

I'm sure it was terrible blow for the filmmakers that they couldn't get authentic Kazakh locations
and were forced to film in a cheap european location instead of a bureaucratic authoritarian shithole in the middle of nowhere

Yeah,
and the fact that Borat looks nothing like a Kazakh may have had something to do with it too.

Yes he is, Cohen is a pretty Zion-proof name.
