Sure, if they are equal on all objective measurements, your theory may be valid. But Asian-American students etc. have far better objective measurements than other groups, on average. So if you just break ties, as you suggest, you're not going to move the needle much.
- gizmo686 8y agoI was looking at the marginal case because it is the easiest to see. Once you accept that this is the case (which, as I pointed out in another comment is an empirical question; it is not a-priori obvious that I am correct), the question becomes how big is the effect. If it is sufficiently large, then it would be sufficient to overcome significant differences in objective measurements. Again, this is an empirical question.
