Context exists. His movies used stereotypes but never punched down at those groups, instead using such characters to mock bigots.

So yes. I can imagine such a movie today. And it would be funny as hell.

Wait! Actually this already exists as a TV show, it’s called I Am America and Cohen frequently portrays a caricature of a Jewish Mossad agent.

I agree in some cases, but Bruno specifically was not attacking homophobia, but was all about making fun of a ridiculous gay straw man.
