There's no moral question here. We have a disadvantaged group of people who are being actively discriminated against by a majority group. The easiest way as a society to make sure that we treat the group fairly is by creating a system that ensures that they are being represented in the university population. It's good for them, it's good for their classmates, it's good for the university, and it serves long-term goals by putting more educated people in their demographic.

Why does the majority discriminate against themselves and in favor of other minorities (Asians, Jews)?

Because innovation happens faster when there are more perspectives in the mix, and communities improve faster when there are more successful people in them.
