Let me preface by saying, America is a sovereign country and can do as it pleases with regards to immigration, college admissions or anything else. But to me this is basically 'de facto' discrimination against immigrants born in Asian countries (which tend to have large populations) especially Indian and Chinese origin people. Which does seem hypocritical given current American rhetoric on racial equality. Further to this Asian / Indian Americans that make it past these filters do quite well socio economically because they are highly selected relative to other groups. So then their American born kids are over-represented in colleges relative to their overall population, and so they end up getting discriminated against in admissions etc. But the college overrepresentation is a downstream effect of the immigration policy.
