The affirmative action suppresses asian american admissions.
Just look at the Yale number (Fall 2009) … 69% white, 14% asian american, 9% african american, 8% Hispanic … I wouldn’t be surprised if the proportion of applicants is more than double the proportion of this incoming class for asian americans.

<p>Last year’s numbers for MIT were provided by an admissions officer, and showed Asians being admitted at a rate higher than their proportion in the applicant pool. Asians accounted for 26 percent of applicants… and 30 percent of acceptances. For comparison, something like 19 percent of applicants were black/Hispanic and this accounted for 24 percent of acceptances. Apparently whites, not Asians, had the lowest rate of admission relative to number of applications.</p>
