If every single person regardless of race had a 10%, 20%, 30%, or whatever shot...the rate as seen in this chart would-still-be-the-same because the most important factor in this rate is the number of applicants per race, that's how they're getting these numbers in the first place.


No they would be equal. The number of people in each group is irrelevant to the discussion.

If you accept 100 people with no regards to race, and everything else about them is equal, and you have 200 applicants, 50 from each "race" (bleh I feel disgusting just using that word, but w/e), the acceptance rate for each group will be 50%, same as the total acceptance rate.

Now say you have the same scenario, but this time you have twice as many asian people. So 250 applicants total, 100 asian, 50 for each of the others. The acceptance rate will be 40% for each group, same as the total acceptance rate.


Except you aren't getting 100 Asians and 50 African Americans, you're getting 5,000 Asians and 50 African Americans. There's enormous disparity in application rate.
