the problem with this argument is that you are generalizing people who come from half the worlds population with one word.

there are different ethnic groups with various levels of income and its not fair to say hmong refugees that they fall under "asian"

Right, but is there any evidence of this actually fucking anyone over, other than assumptions based on quota systems?

In reality, any application process is extremely random, and what makes it even possible to get through is sorting heuristics to make initial order. I would bet money on the fact that people aren't coming up with different criteria for different races. Or generating quota systems. Neither of these would make the process any easier.

In the end, in any application process, some small number of people are going to get screwed because of the lack of precision and the inherent randomness to the process. Demonstrate that this is along racial lines, and then we've got something more to talk about.
