Applications and acceptance do not show discrimination. You would have to show how many schools each application applied to. If one applicant applies to 6 schools, that has no bearing on the acceptance and attendance level. That applicant is only going to attend one school. It is why I commented on application costs and such in my first response.

We can make some sort of assumptions about how many are actually studying based on the graduation rates by race. Using that data, there is certainly no reverse discrimination in graduates. If you wanted to be clear about how that number parallels the accepted and actual studying students by race, we would need to know the drop out rate by race. I am sure that is available.

The AAMC make no assumptions with the data your hero cherry picked to make his assumptions on.

If you want to see actual data of student diversity ( a true sign of discrimination if it existed) look here. Start on page 66.

The AAMC does make assumptions with the data which is how they decided on a policy of student diversity ( a true sign of discrimination indeed) look here. Start on page 9.

Yes

One review of institutional climate assessments indicates that students from racial or ethnic minority backgrounds perceive more racial conflict and tension than their White counterparts.12 Therefore, identification of the strengths and weaknesses of an institution as it relates to diversity, as well as the beliefs and perspectives of those within that institution, are critical first steps in creating diverse and inclusive environments. --Page 9

Did you just pick that sentence at random? It doesn't support your proposition.
