He was born in Uganda. He’s African-American like Musk.

Are you attempting to claim that being born in Africa allows one to claim "black" as their ethnic group? You think Elon Musk is "black"?

African-American isn't black. It is an African and an American. African-American becoming a synonym with black has to do with language hygiene because black sounds "racist." Most people we call African-American have never stepped foot in Africa.

So the NYT is trying to take him out. I figured they'd be his main cheer squad.

I might be wrong, but this is not a needle mover. Don't get me wrong, i'm glad they're digging, but this isn't going to be the smoking gun.

Are you sure he isn't Sascha Cohen?

He marked African-American on the form and it was coded as black by the university is how I read it.

Nothing about this charlatan is "Black" as he indicated on his application.

Father – Mahmood Mamdani
Place of Birth: Bombay, India

Mother – Mira Nair
Place of Birth: Punjab, India

Why did he identify as "Black" on the app? Did he think that by doing so, he'd have some degree of advantage?

It's pretty telling that the guy is left of Marx and the NYT's gripe with him is that he isn't great at filling out college applications.
