Synopsis: | Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy persona 'Ali G' is misogynist, homophobic and materialist and displays a provocative lack of awareness. Ali G eludes any definitve identity: Is he a white or an Asian person trying to be black? This hybridity enables Ali G to blur and at the same time transgress ethnic boundaries when discussing such topics as national, cultural and ethnic identity with well-known public figures. | |
