Admissions must be race blind. In general our society must be race blind. "White" people were once Polish, Italian, German, etc. Yet these identities have melted away over generations in large part because society did not and does not actively reinforce these identities.
By forcing people into these buckets we reinforce the very divisions that we want to overcome.
Yes but women (on average) are making less money than men. And they are choosing majors which are less lucrative.

A large part of it is.

Yet we are constantly reminded by activists that women on average make less than men so there must be discrimination. We could eliminate all the discrimination in the world and the average woman would still make less than the average man given gender choice disparity when it comes to important things like careers and education. This article is taking a step back to remind us of that.
