Sure but this isn’t racism, it’s compensating for inequalities that are not fixable by “trying harder” or any individuals personal responsibility.
Actually it seems that trying harder in case of Asians is being punished. They have highest meritocratic scores and are being punished for it... That from engineering view point seems just insane.
That's vendetta of mafia clans: "You don't know me and I don't know you, but your grandpa offended my grandpa a century ago, so today I'm going to offend you."
