I think that the subject of the satire for most of the movie is intended to be American's perception of foreigners, and not foreigners themselves. I do agree that some of the depictions of Kazakhstan (the village in the movie is not actually even in Kazakhstan) do veer away from this toward something that at least feels like it is poking fun at the depicted culture and not Americans.

Satire is nice and all but most people will not really engage with satire enough to understand that it is satire.
