纽约市民主市长提名人Zohran Mamdani, 从2009年起, 面临种族认同审查。 Zohran Mamdani, New York City's Democratic mayoral nominee, faces scrutiny over his racial identification from 2009.

纽约市市长民主党提名人Zohran Mamdani在《纽约时报》报导他在2009年哥伦比亚大学申请中, 既指“亚裔”, 也指“黑人或非裔美国人”。 Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, faced criticism after The New York Times reported that he identified as both "Asian" and "Black or African American" on his 2009 Columbia University application. Mamdani生于乌干达,南亚后裔,他说,他填写申请表是为了反映他的背景。 Mamdani, born in Uganda and of South Asian descent, said he filled out the application to reflect his background. 批评者认为这篇文章试图破坏他的可信度, 而Mamdani则坚称他作为南亚裔穆斯林在竞选。 Critics argue the article seeks to undermine his credibility, while Mamdani maintains he is campaigning as a Muslim of South Asian descent.
