"minority preferential treatment in admissions"
Nonsense. Maybe true for blacks or hispanics. Not true for Indians, and this article is about Indians and other South Asians. When I was in training, I (an Indian) was treated just like other white persons by the administration whereas hispanics got preferntial treatment in admissions, loans, awards, etc.
Even the FDA does not consider Indians as a separate ethnic minortiy - we are genetically considered as caucasians.
