Boxofdonuts was being sarcastic. It is a widely held belief that asians are overrepresented in colleges, while blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented. It is believed that colleges want to keep their demographics at stasis (or make it more diverse). Because more asians are believed to apply to top schools, people often believe that Asians require somewhat higher stats to get admitted (because a school doesn’t want a 50% asian school). The idea is that if they don’t know your race, you won’t be subjected to being compared amongst other asians, but if your name is obviously asian there’s no point.
