A study that tried to find discrimination in college admissions found said discrimination. But, it was Anti White discrimination they found!

Carnevale et al (2019)

This study, paid for by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, found that white people were discriminated against in college admissions

If students were admitted solely on the basis of their test scores, the white student population would soar from 197,000 to 225,000. Every other ethnic group’s numbers would fall. Asians would decline from 56,000 to 32,000; Hispanics from 32,000 to 29,000; and blacks from 16,000 to 14,000 (Page 9)
