The no-test policy is espoused by two groups who find themselves to be unlikely allies: naive progressives and actual racists.
The naive progressives think what you’d expect: “Minorities and poor people can’t possibly be expected to do well on anything objective, so it’s unfair to test them”. It is bigotry, but at least it’s well-meaning.
The actual racists are more cynical: “I don’t want Yale to be 67% Asian.” Obviously, this is even worse.
