Now lumping all these people together as “Asians”, we have an over represented group of Asians. In fact, Indians are often categorized as Caucasians in many countries. If we use that categorization, maybe it is the Caucasian group that’s over represented.

This is important. There is only one sub-group at TJ that is over represented to any amount - South Asians. And WILDLY so. They represent approximately 5% of the catchment area yet occupy nearly 45% of the seats at TJ, even AFTER the admissions changes.

Have you been to a hospital or IT firm lately? Those are the same demographics represented.

I don't think 5% is true any more. Also, the percentage among students is likely higher.
