Leaked to the NYT (not sure if they were sitting on it, but now the secret is out).

You’d think that they would vet better than this before rolling out the future of the Dem Party.

...had a hard time getting a link to work on my phone..sry.

Inquiry...from BVZ's linked article...fortunately, Mr. Mamdani doesn't have the "Rap Sheet" of our current President..."Convicted Felon, Rapist, Fraud, Insurrectionist," who has threatened every school he ever attended with suits if they release any information about his records (per his fixer, Michael Cohen, who sent those threats for him).
---------------------
Mamdani, born in Uganda, told the outlet he doesn’t identify as either race but rather “an American who was born in Africa.”

Zohran Mamdani (center) checked both “Asian” and “Black or African American” on his application for Columbia University.

“Most college applications don’t have a box for Indian-Ugandans, so I checked multiple boxes trying to capture the fullness of my background,” the Queens lawmaker said.

Mamdani, who clinched the Democratic mayoral nomination last week, told the outlet he selected the two races because of the limited options available on the college application — not to gain an edge in the admissions process.

The Ugandan-born pol said he doesn’t identify as either race, but rather “as an American who was born in Africa.”

“Most college applications don’t have a box for Indian-Ugandans, so I checked multiple boxes trying to capture the fullness of my background,” the Queens lawmaker said, adding that he specified “Ugandan” in a section of the application that allowed for more detailed personal information.

“Even though these boxes are constraining, I wanted my college application to reflect who I was.”
------------------

I suspect Mr. Mamdani knew that any college interview would "Uncover" his true race eventually...after all he's much smarter than even the best MAGA...and certainly more than Baron who thinks this is a substantive 'Expose' ;-)

One day I'll be fortunate enough to call Baron a liar to his face. Zero respect for someone like him
