Why would you take U.S. population rather than world population?

This is a very good point. In particular, it completely throws out the "overrepresentation" ratio for Asian students. What's the actual ratio by number of applications?

A very good point! We can also ask why whites are underrepresented at Addis Ababa University, and why there are so few Latinos attending Osaka University.

Because each university belongs to the whole world, and none were founded to serve their country.
