From NY Post: Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to hike property taxes for “richer and whiter neighborhoods” in an eyebrow-raising proposal that aims to ease the burden on homeowners in the outer boroughs.
The soak-the-rich proposal is buried in Mamdani’s campaign platform that calls to fix the city’s notoriously skewed property tax system, in which ritzy brownstones are hit at lower rates than homes and rentals in lower-income neighborhoods.
“Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” the proposal reads.
While the goal of leveling out-of-whack property taxes that negatively impact minority neighborhoods is a bipartisan issue, Mamdani’s use of the word “whiter” has drawn scorn from some, the Post reported.
Eric Daugherty, a conservative media personality, labeled Mamdani a “RACIST” in an X post.
🚨 WTF? Zohran Mamdani supports taxing "whiter neighborhoods" in New York City higher than other boroughs.
This Ugandan is not only a radical Muslim socialist but a RACIST.

An other user, podcaster Zeek Arkham, suggested that if an alternate descriptor to “white” had been used, there would be mass outrage and violence.
“Change the race and we’ve got riots, protests, and Democrats crying on camera,” Arkham wrote. “Even more ironic that those same ‘whiter’ neighborhoods voted for this clown without doing any homework, no doubt.”
