>Asians only make up 4.4% of the population. The percentage of Asians in the population of the United States is irrelevant to the question of whether Palantir discriminates against Asian job applicants because Asians make up a much larger percentage of applicants to Palantir than they do of the general population. In one case, 130 people applied for a position, 78% of whom were Asian, but only 4 of the 21 people hired were Asian.[1] In another case. 1,160 people applied for a position, 85% of whom were Asian, and only 14 of the 25 people hired were Asian.[2] Palantir gave a reasonable-sounding response[3], and I don't think there's conclusive evidence that they committed racial discrimination, but I'm not sure why you're so dismissive of the possibility that they might have.
