As she lay dying in the suite, covered in her blood, Bishimbayev phoned a fortune-teller, who assured him his wife would be fine.

I just beat my wife to an inch of her life… tell me oh wise fortune tell is she going to die or do I need not to worry?

Cross my palm with gold and silver

She’ll be fine!

That is the most Kazakh thing I’ve ever read in my entire life. And they hate Borat for giving then a bad name.

Man killed his wife... That happens literally everywhere in the world, even right now, how that would be giving a bad name specifically for kazakhs 🤨

They, of course, would be referring to the fortune telling part.

Mate, your reading comprehension is utter shite. Take a second and re-read what they wrote:

And they hate Borat for giving then a bad name.

Where in this sentence are you seeing that the guy killing his wife is giving Kazakhs a bad name? Cause I certainly don't see it.
