I made a thread on this a while ago. I think the consensus was that LACs tend to have fewer Asians than nationally ranked universities, so you might have an easier time getting into one.

More specifically, non-science/math colleges tend to have fewer Asian(-American) students.</p>

<p>Here’s an incomplete list posted a while back:

Caltech 38.4%
MIT 29.3%
Duke 28.4%
Carnegie Mellon 27.0%
Stanford 24.3%
Harvey Mudd 24%
USC 24%
Penn 21%
Hopkins 20%
Emory 20%</p>

<p>Haverford 11.4%
WUStL 11%
UVA 10.8%
Williams 10.5%
Carleton 10.1%
Middlebury 9.51%
Notre Dame 8%
William & Mary 8%
Oberlin 7.98%
UNC 7.75%
Macalester 7.71%
Trinity (CT) 7.23%
Colby 7.18%
Hamilton 7.17%
Colgate 7%
Vanderbilt 7%
Grinnell 6.88%
Holy Cross 5.33%
Bates 5.09%
Kenyon 4.67%
Colorado 4.56%
W&L 3.45%
Davidson 2.94% (!!!)

<p>I compiled a list of all top LACs and universities with 15%+ Asian-American populations (for your purposes, you may care to avoid them).
