The power of soft power: Mamdani’s father graduated from HS in Uganda in 1962. “Most kids wanted to go into trade or business.” He “was one of 23 Ugandans who got fellowships to go to” the US, as “part of the American gift to Uganda for her independence.” www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?sto...

thinking about how the times called Mahmoud Mamdani and asked him whether any of his ancestors had intermarried while in Africa like ok the creepy race science here goes beyond the sourcing
Mr. Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to Mira Nair, an acclaimed film director who grew up in India and later emigrated to the United States, and Mahmood Mamdani, then a college professor at Makerere University. Both his parents are of Indian descent, but his father's family came to East Africa more than 100 years ago, Mr. Mamdani said. When asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, "They're all of Indian origin, from Gujarat."

Signs that your story have gone off the rails:
*Not clear that the target actually did anything wrong, despite implications otherwise
*Your primary sources is a eugenicist
*You grant the source anonymity even tho he was previously outed
*You ask about family mating patterns while in Africa

Uganda’s Makerere University in Kampala has been rocked by anti-gay violence & it's coming from the students

Uganda’s homophobic laws legitimise violence. Young people are now learning cruelty, not compassion

SHAME!
Anti-Gay Violence and Hate Explode at Uganda’s Makerere University
Uganda’s leading higher learning institution, Makerere University, has been rocked by anti-gay violence amid calls to target LGBTQ+ students.

Almost beyond belief, but the New York Times appears to be endorsing the Amin-era definition of Africanness.
Mr. Mamdani’s self-identification as both Black or African American and Asian on his application points to the heterogeneity of his background and upbringing as the child of Indian Ugandan and Indian American parents who brought him up in Uganda, South Africa and New York City. Mr. Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to Mira Nair, an acclaimed film director who grew up in India and later emigrated to the United States, and Mahmood Mamdani, then a college professor at Makerere University. Both his parents are of Indian descent, but his father’s family came to East Africa more than 100 years ago, Mr. Mamdani said.
