> The outcome is racist but there's no intent to be racist.

Then why do college admissions factor in race at all?

> Their grades and scores are STELLAR!

But the complaint is that their grades and scores aren't stellar. That lower grades and scores are being chosen over higher grades and scores based apparently on race.

> What's going to happen to campus social life if half the class has a history of not being social at all?

Once again, the complaint is that people with equal or better extracurricular activities and better grades are being passed over based on race.

> No one is out to discriminate against asian people, their applications are just very problematic at scale.

But we know this isn't true. We know that college admins have discriminated before.

Your argument is just a rehash of the anti-semitic discrimination against jews decades ago.

It's pretty much boilerplate word for word copy of previous racist admission policies.
