Are your serious? Whites are under represented too. Are you going to say white people are oppressed? Also what requirement is there that a private universities demographics have to directly match the demographics of top testing students? If that is some requirement who set the arbitrary data point for which we compare test scores? Gtfoh
Edit. I think people are misunderstanding my comment. I'm not saying that anything is justified because it happens to white people. I'm also not saying what happens to white people and Asians is racism as the commenter above me suggested. I'm saying their should be no expectation of demographic fairness or proportional equality in university admissions.

Race should play 0 factor in college admissions

Race can't play a factor for the simple fact a kid can't change it.
We have had this discussion time and time again, but at the end of the day everybody should be treated equally regardless of sex, race and any other factors not related to the content of their character.
Schools should be able to decide who to except off of GPA, SAT, essay, whatever they want but race shouldn't play a factor in it. Period.

Race isn't playing a factor, test scores are, for schools like this high test scores get you an interview. The schools value a good story, be that hard work, overcoming adversity etc, every single person you see in this graph scored amazing on tests every single one earned a spot at these schools but there isn't enough spots. interviews said this breakdown deserved a spot. plain and simple.

Instead of making admission easier for urms, maybe we should actually change the fucking circumstances that make it difficult for them to go to school.
And there are underpriveleged people who aren’t urms? Or urms who are rich.
