The alleged data showed Asian students performed better on ACT and SAT tests, but that white students finished with higher GPAs.
There are many ways to interpret this. Are they saying Asians are discriminated against for the admission process (higher standards) and then again once enrolled (lower grades)? I find it hard to believe a leftist university would grade whites higher than Asians on purpose.
Edit: Unless the whites were predominantly women or LGBT.

They might want to (whites are favored over Asians in the admission process), but I don't see a realistic way of actually doing that. Exam results are far less arbitrary than admissions, and Asians aren't going to take kindly to getting low marks for answers they get right.
Asians are better at testing when being driven by family pressure and culture, but Whites end up being better at self-motivating over the long-term?
Granted, there's alot of factors that can influence GPA, but it's possible that for Asians alot of the effort is front-loaded(gearing up and studying for the ACT), whereas for Whites it's all back-loaded(attending and scoring high in college).

I interpret it as "let's talk about anything but the low black scores".

Agreed, I find it hard to square that.

Just a stab in the dark.
