Zohran Mamdani Checked Two Boxes: Should Racial and Ethnic Identity Categories Be Eliminated?

When Zohran Mamdani, now a rising political figure, checked both “Asian” and “Black” on a Columbia University application over a decade ago, he never imagined it would be headline news during his mayoral run. Michael dives into the ethics of race reporting, the relevance of affirmative action post-SCOTUS, and whether racial and ethnic categories still serve a purpose in America’s evolving demographic landscape. Thought-provoking calls and personal stories round out this must-hear episode. Original air date 10 July 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
