<p>calmom,</p>
<p>Now, I don't live in California, but a glance at Berkeley's page on College Board reveals that while Asians are the largest racial group, their percentage is still less than 51%, therefore, they are minorities at that campus.</p>
<p>I really don't see how any students are being discriminated against in U.C. admissions. The numbers don't look anything like pre-1954 numbers.</p>
<p>If Hispanic and Black students "end up clustered" at Riverside in race-blind admissions, then Riverside is just one of their options.</p>
<p>It's not de facto discrimination when so many qualified students get rejected from Harvard, so why use that phrase to describe the (relatively) low percentage of "under-represented" minorities at Berkeley?</p>
<p>Edit</p>
<p>Sixteen "under-represented" students out of 100 doesn't seem like de facto discrimination to me.</p>
