Asians are the opposite of blacks here - they have higher household income than whites, and are getting negative affirmative action in school entry because they have higher grades than whites.
Asians having outperformed white Americans should be seen as a credit to white people's lack of discrimination IMO.
Different groups have different distributions of abilities and will have different average outcomes. You can leave it as a free for all or you can try and make it fairer or more inclusive etc by introducing quotas.
Prestigious universities are not just after maximising top marks, they also go after connections to power, old money, seeking future alumni donations etc.
