Underrepresented is key here.

There are plenty of non-Caucasian minorities I’m sure. They just aren’t “underrepresented, so it doesn’t count.

Did they do DNA testing on all of their students? I'd bet more than $0.05 that it's higher than 3%.

I'm guessing that they used self-identification, which is quite often inaccurate. What box did the student check on the application?

And probably a lot higher under the traditional Democrat "one drop of blood" criteria.
