Just as latino students are "favored" over whites with better scores, and (at the top of the SAT range in the graph) black students are "favored" over latinos.

You can't win here. Colleges admissions desire a diverse mix of students. Identifiable ethnicities have different median qualifications. So someone has to lose in that tradeoff.

The point upthread was simply that usually when you see this argument made it's a complaint that whites are being "penalized". This time it's asians. But despite being a novel spin, it's still the same story.
