I think the percent of asians at Stanford is around 25%. The question is, what percent of the applicant pool is asian? My guess is that it could easily be more than 25% which would mean that it is statistically more difficult for an asian to be admitted. I don’t know if those stats are accessible but if my assumptions are correct, it means that the competition must be something fierce given the high quality of applicants in general. I have read that at Harvard, the number of asian applicants is substantially higher than the number admitted. (At least this was true a few years ago).
