My statement was based solely on the 2010-2015 data where 14% more than the 18% of 1950. 18% of 1950 = 351 * .14 = 49 Asian students per year that scored above

My statement was based solely on the 2010-2015 data where 14% more than the 18% of 1950. 18% of 1950 = 351 * .14 = 49 Asian students per year that scored above whites and should have been admitted. This is from the filing, but I can't verify externally.
If the data in this thread is correct: LatinX, Native American, and Black students averaged lower scores than whites on those same GPA/Tests. Those 49 Asian students would have displaced, therefore, more of those groups than whites. How many more? It's not clear--as few as 1 each for those groups (but those scores would have been outlier-bad) but likely, more black students than any other category (again just based on the numbers presented here).
Will there be more Asians than whites in the Harvard freshman class if Harvard goes race-blind? I appreciate why that question is very important to Asian applicants, but I am more concerned about the further-marginalizing of the other groups.
