I'm having a hard time trying to understand what the acceptable outcome they want is. Proportional enrollment based on race?

This possibility bothers me, since I never identified myself by race. So would I be lumped into a generic "Asian" category in their statistics based on my skin colour? Why is this the correct form of human categorization?
