Actually you can prove it and it has been proven. Genetics have a minor say in who a person is, and racial factor is equivalent to statistical error. For example there are adopted black children in very white populations, e.g. in Eastern Europe, where I live. These children are absolutely no different to kids here - and the white kids here know from experience that a person that grew up here (among our people) will be just like them. And the same goes for other ethnicities/nationalities that are considered different in personality, e.g. Arabs, Greeks, Italians, Spanish people... It's all about the upbringing. I am not familiar with any scandals, and in the case of Ivy league schools I am always asking why that school? There are thousands of cheap (for everyone) high quality schools. The fact that few well known schools are using race to distinguish high income students is wrong (now you at least have some view into what racism is, imagine how bad it must be to be a minority), but it is not happening universally as you suggest.

There are similar studies from the 70s-90s in the US which show opposite conclusions.[0] We can continue bending over backwards coming up with explanations that allow us to maintain our magnanimous worldview, or we can accept that what we know about genes and culture has negative implications for equality of outcome. This isn't a superiority or inferiority judgement either - the NFL is not overwheingly black because discrimination. 0. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adopti...
