The accurate headline on the story would have been "Mamdani Identified as Asian and Ugandan on College Application"

It’s a thousand layers below any of the more meaningful stuff here but also I do not think Columbia in particular was under any misunderstanding about Mamdani’s background?

His father was a professor at the university, as I understand it…so, no. They shouldn’t have been.

Wouldn't the accurate headline be "Nazi hacker leaks that Mamdani attempted to accurately represent his ethnicity"?

If you keep criticizing the story they're going to cancel the broader story of how he checked other boxes on different forms in his life. Did he accurately check all conditions in the family history section of his optometrist's intake form? We need to know! (But only for him)

I’m so old I remember the endless UK newspaper stories in 1972 about the plight of the ‘Ugandan Asians’ [sic].
