"1. Why aren't Asian-Americans considered a minority?"If Asian-American's SAT scores were lumped in with Black's and Latino's scores, minority SAT scores might be equal to or higher than majority SAT scores. (I think the PC term is now "underrepresented minority" to distinguish Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans from those dull, uninteresting, overperforming "overrepresented minorities".) This doesn't fit in at all with the beliefs and goals of PC university admissions committees.

It's grossly more complex than that in some areas. For instance, homosexuals are grossly over-represented in college admissions, and yet in many cases are plopped into a list for special treatment.
