We get it, Mr. Mayor: Being lectured by sanctimonious lefties at a local hearing is a drag.

But responding by playing the race card out of irritation doesn’t suit you.

Jeanie Dubnau, a Rutgers assistant prof and longtime housing gadfly, assailed the mayor over the rent hikes just OK’d by the Rent Guidelines Board (which in fact were far too low to cover landlords’ soaring costs).

The mayor took exception to her tone, and to her pointing her finger at him as she ranted.

Fair enough, but he said she’d addressed him like “someone that’s on the plantation that you own.”

Sure, local left-wingers may be outrageously entitled, but all New Yorkers have a long habit of treating their mayor as someone who’s supposed to answer to them, not as some exalted figure.

It goes with the job, not with the color of your skin.
