I think this issue is a bit overstated — though certainly true to some extent. The most prominent case I've seen made here focuses on PSAT scores and a few other categories which (a) aren't necessarily indicative of success and (b) are biased towards some ethnic groups which prioritize standardized tests. The PSAT in particular is an odd one, since it is mostly irrelevant for any applications -- most Asian-American groups wildly outperform everyone else on the PSAT, but the gap is much narrower on the SAT, which has greater relevance for college admissions, and thus sees more preparation from across ethnic groups.
