It's crazy how right wing people have warped his entire message. He's saying that well off neighborhoods are disproportionately taxed at a lower rate than others. Said neighborhoods have less ethnic minorities (hence the word white). I think the wording absolutely could be better but nonetheless I fully agree with this policy.

Actually, the right wing is using identity politics to create a white unity against Mamdani. He (and his campaign advisors) should be aware of this strategy and counter it. Every time the left talks about minorities the right also uses idpol in their favor. Let's keep in mind that the right wing will always appeal to identity and religion because it can't deal with popular economic policies. He can use the fact that the white rich are screwing the white poor with higher cost of living and housing speculation and create division among their ranks as well. This is better than using an anti-white rhetoric which is precisely what the right wing is trying to use in their favor.
