This is a normal post I'm really not sure what the point of these types of videos is besides a bit of entertainment.
Back when Sacha Baron Cohen was doing it, we were very much pre/proto Social Media and you could argue that public awareness of stuff he was satirising was far more localised than it is nowadays.
I think it's safe to say that these days, most people are well aware that these types of marches (especially those organised by are Tommy) are going to have a disproportionate incidence of fuckwits/racists. There's really no surprise there.
I suspect the vast majority of people watching this video already subscribe to Niko's ideological leanings and will should be completely unsurprised that collecting soundbites from intellectually challenged salary dodgers about 'how awful them forrins is' is akin to shooting fish in a barrel. Especially when they're as densely packed in as that.
It's not unreasonable to also assume that over the course of the day, Niko conducted fucking loads of these interactions and has cherry picked the most egregious clips for his video. Like, obviously, everyone that goes to these marches is a bit of a cunt. But these are almost certainly the worst/best of the lot.

Nobody watching these videos is going to think "Blimey, I better stop being racist now", and very few watching are going to be surprised that there are racist cunts at these marches. Which reduces these videos to the level of poverty porn almost, where those of us who know better can pat ourselves on the back and laugh at how thick these plebites are. Which is fine, I guess. But it's not really fixing anything, is it? Probably sowing more division, if anything.

That's about as civilised as I get, soz.
