@mineO3O‌ I’m not saying that diversity is based solely on race; I just mention race in conjunction with diversity because that is the topic on hand. However, I am aware that different backgrounds of students also contribute to the diversity. But there would be a problem if a school were primarily asian, as other races would be seen as being underrepresented or ignored. I guess these are the problems colleges are hoping to avoid by looking at race in admissions.
And if a school were 90% asian, I do not see that as very diverse as the background of students is only a fractional part of the diversity of a school.
