Democratic socialist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim immigrant, identified as both Asian and African American on his Columbia University application, a report claims.

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani listed himself as Black on a Columbia application but later said he wasn’t, according to reporting from the New York Times.

Mamdani checked both “Asian” and “Black or African American” on his Columbia University application as a high school senior in 2009.
