Zohran Mamdani has admitted listing his race as “black” on a college admission form. He is not black—he is ethnically South Asian because, by his own admission, his ancestors all came from India. It is impossible to know what went through his head when Mamdani lied on his Columbia University admission form, but the most obvious reason for doing so would have been to give himself an advantage over other applicants. If that was the case, it was not just lying; it was cheating.
Lying on a college admission form is not a criminal offense, but most would say it is unethical. It does not reflect the sort of integrity that one would expect in the mayor of America’s largest city. I would say it’s not at all different from what Elizabeth Warren (“Pocahontas”) did in representing herself as a Native American.
In the academic world, at least before the recent Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action in admissions, a great deal of preference was given to minority candidates, and surely Mamdani would have known that. His excuses so far have been remarkably lame: Since he was born in Uganda, he was “sort of” black, and he wanted to “fully represent” himself. Or another: There was “no place on the form” to list himself as “born in Africa” but not African, but “Asian, so he checked “black” and “Asian.” I think most people would say this was disingenuous. It seems he was taking advantage.
If that’s the case, how else has Mamdani “taken advantage” since graduating from Bowdoin College (he did not attend Columbia, despite his “black” race)?

Liars lie. That is what they do. It is a serious character flaw.
Who cares if you were born on what continent? Is that an extra credit thing?
No one ever lies and claims to be white. The Left talks about “white privilege” but it’s not a real thing. Blacks get all kinds of privileges. It should also be noted that Mamdani was checking all kinds of golden boxes to get into Columbia, and they still didn’t take him. He’s low quality and a liar.
Yup. This guy is a liar. And he’s also lying when he promises free stuff that he knows (unless he’s also stupid) he cannot deliver.
He’s nothing but a con man.
BTTT
Not that I'm for affirmative action, but Mamdani kept some black guy out of college.
This guy is BETTER man or woman than most Democrats that I can think of.
Certainly better than Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal who was RIGHTLY accused of stolen valor by claiming he was Vietnam veteran.
In my book that is as low as one can go.
Certainly lower than fudging and playing games on a college application.
I thought this was going to be about FNC’s opinion big mouth, Leslie Marshall.
His heart, man, his heart. His black heart is the basis of his identity.
His “base” doesn’t care. They’re only interested in the free stuff he’s promising them - and his vow to “punish the rich.”
Nothing else matters.
““no place on the form” to list himself as “born in Africa” but not African”
Race & Ethnicity on College forms often use Goobermint required options. Born in Africa, citizen of an African country, and a US Citizens.
So what is African American if not that?
Dems want it both ways. Not Black sometimes, but black other times. White Privilege but folks choose Black for advantage?
We never saw Obamas college admission where it was speculated to be “foreign student”. And Kamala said she was Indian. Liberals set these rules. It’s their game.
Claimed he was black and listed Elizabeth Warren as a character witness. What could go wrong?
He’s certainly right at home with the rest of the rats
When is his African cook book “Ghana Manna” going to be published?
Elizabeth Warren is an American Indian.... Kamala is an “African-American”....Obama was born in the US.... none of that matters to the American voter !! Men and women, Women are men, People are furries..... you are what you say you are to Democrats.... Any no one holds them accountable !!
Dudden matter to all the Marxist’s. It’s in their DNA to lie, cheat, still and yeah, murder (just ask the Klintons).
“It is a serious character flaw.”
Not for Democrats. The ends justify the means.
