harvard still obviously actively look for minorities to gain diversity. The point of a likely is to increase yield and in other words steal an amazing applicant away from other possible top schools like yp. so, the chance is much greater that acadmic likelies are also minority applicants. They rent just willy nily giving you a likely because you are a minority. But it is quite possible that your ikely was sent out in a wave of other minority likelies. This assumption has merit especially because if all likelies were sent out, there would be many more people here on cc bragging... and we all know white kids love to brag (stereotype)
