"It makes about as much sense as lowering the hoop for Asian basketball players,"

You need an Asian Studies class.

Sun Mingming is a Chinese former professional basketball player. He is the tallest professional basketball player in the world and was measured by the Guinness World Records as 2.36 m tall and weighing 168 kg. Wikipedia

You are right that most competitive colleges have only 5-8% black students, substantially below the general population. And they are overrepresented by Asians. They are also overrepresented by women.

Still, I would think blacks with college degrees would favor legacy admission policies for their kids now that affirmation action is gone.
