The analysis checks out (excepting the "women" part, which I assume is some kind of typo), but the "underrepresented racial groups" framing hides important parts of the story. Both black and white students are accepted in proportion to public school demographics; Hispanic students are the single largest ethnic group despite being underrepresented.

So unless you take the perspective that colleges ought to engage in direct racial balancing against local graduating classes, it's very hard to tell a story about diversity or implicit bias here.
