But that's a hard road. Because the courts have never said, it's just test scores - highest wins. College admissions are still allowed to take everything into account but race. And then can sure couch other traits not being race-based to decrease Asian acceptance.

You're right, but it's still a more tricky, careful process than I imagined, as this article describes:

Lifting the Veil on the Holistic Process at the University of California, Berkeley

After Prop 209, black and hispanic enrollment plummeted at Cal, so it's a struggle to maintain diversity.

Interestingly, one effect of Prop 209, after witnessing the rise in Asian admissions at top universities, is that it highlighted how the top Ivy League schools suppress Asian and Jewish admissions (well unless you are in a position to make a big donation).
