How important is GRE for grad school admissions?

I looked at a few grad programs. I noticed about half of grad students in math programs have asian sounding name. Pardon me for singling out asians. Other foreigners are a bit hard to discern. Also, some asians are not foreigners. So it’s a very flawed observation at best I am making. A few programs list their PhD recipients. The composition is no longer 50/50. It’s more like 75/25 or 70/30, nonasian vs asian. If this holds true widely, grad adm committees don’t seem to be doing their job well. Of course, there could be other explanations.
