one easy way to get rid of it (for university) is to force them to accept new student only on score to a test for example: GRE, SAT ...

If this is done you cannot say the university are racist anymore.

If they decide to do this, there will be a lot more asian at Ivy league university because on average they score much better.

As someone who is not asian I would still be 100% OK with this because this would be they only accept base on merit.

But people will still complain there is an equal proportion of student from each race.

Do you actually believe that there is a standardized test that can fully quantify who the next generation of doctors and engineers will be with no human judgement involved?
