I was specifically trying to rebut a claim that is often made that special help for minorities is bad, because we live in a meritocracy and "let those people compete on the same metric as us".
The point here is that 75% of 40% (= 30%) of the majority/white students received special help and would not have been admitted otherwise. Furthermore, much of that special help was directed because of wealth and donation power, not due to "need".
You raise a good statistical question ("ok, it's 30% of majority but what is the % for minority").
I do not have the data for that, and in a world where average income of various ethnicities was the same, that would be a compelling point.
