The acceptance rate for Asian applicants is still higher than average.

No discrimination, as declared by the courts.

Maybe the Asian applicants had significantly higher merit than average, and in a more comprehensive admissions process, would have earned 90%+ of the seats.  
Asians are like 6% of the US population, but they're earning 90% of the highest middle and high school level STEM accolades.

The same is true for chem and computing olympiads.  The top kids are predominantly Asian.

Interestingly, MAA has now scrubbed the USAMO and USAJMO winner list from their site, just like they scrubbed all of the AMC 8 and 10/12 awards.  They, too, don't like the optics of seeing so many Asian kids on the lists.[/quote]

Why is it that you feel entitled to define merit for others as you see fit?[/quote]
