Because the supreme court has supported this shite. Probably not anymore, though.

How is there not a lawsuit? Then seems like an open and shut discrimination case

In a 6-3 decision on June 23, 2003, the Supreme Court ruled that the university's admission system was unconstitutional and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The majority declared that the system of automatic distribution of points to every underrepresented minority applicant did not fit the individualized consideration requirement established in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, nor was it a narrowly tailored consideration of race. The majority also rejected the argument that diversity cannot constitute a compelling state interest. The majority opinion was delivered by Chief Justice William Rehnquist and joined by Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, and Stephen Breyer.[1][3][5]

Rehnquist wrote the following in the majority opinion:[5]

“ Moreover, unlike Justice Powell’s example, where the race of a “particular black applicant” could be considered without being decisive, see Bakke, 438 U.S., at 317, the LSA’s automatic distribution of 20 points has the effect of making “the factor of race … decisive” for virtually every minimally qualified underrepresented minority applicant.[6]
