Can you explain about these "unofficial quotas against Asians"? I'm genuinely curious if this actually exists. Note that less than 5% of Americans are Asian, but:
40% of UC students are asian (and it's higher at Cal, UCLA and UCSD (i.e. the better schools)).[1]
23% of Stanford students are asian (probably higher since that excludes "international" and "decline to state").[2]
26% of MIT students are.[3]
In other words, at (a small sampling of) the top schools, Asians are over-represented by anywhere from 400% to 1000%. It just doesn't seem like any sort of quota system exists, looking at the data.
