What has lead you to this claim?The article linked to this post does not seem to denote other motive if that is indeed what you are meaning to imply with the article focused on comments from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In fact, it seems that she is close to other democrats who are considering a run for the mayor of NYC including Assemblyman Zohran K. Mamdani who is of south asian descent.
