What are the student ratios that go to that school?

Say 1000 white dudes, 300 black dudes, 300 girls, I can see this being normal if thats why?
But why are they sorting by minorities? Aren’t we all equal these days?

“Hey you know that thing where people tend to ignore minority sounding names in applications and whatnot? Maybe we should take action to stop that so everyone gets a fair shake?”
Man, this isn’t racism, it’s ‘we’re aware how people think about minorities and want to balance things out’
In that year, 65% of the country was non-Jewish White, 70%of Nation Merit Scholars were non-Jewish White, but only 18% of students at Harvard were (and 40% of the 18% are legacies)
Basically, if you’re not a legacy or Jewish and White, you’re redlined out
Notable is that the engineering schools like MIT, Caltech and the University of California don’t have the same trend

This study is from 2011, but not much has changed since then: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/pdf/The%20Myth%20of%20American%20Meritocracy-Unz.pdf
