I really think we need better statistics here. Palantir should definitely be making moves to make sure race isn't the dividing line, using something like more rigorous online tests and bias training for interviewers, but there are plenty of plausible explainations for this difference of Asian applicants vs Asian hires based on how they defined "Qualified".
What if the job involved frequent client contact and you needed to asses a high English ability? That would no doubt discriminate against a lot of non native speakers who might have the requisite degree, but would they be qualified?
There is also the issue of degrees or other certifications being usually useless to assess real world coding ability, and certainly useless to assess interview whiteboarding questions.
