There's no way to tell whether those numbers are evidence for or against discrimination because there's no control group of culturally blank ivy leagues to compare it against.

I think the point is that there was extensive discrimination against Jews, but now it’s stopped, and the data show this.
I think the data only shows that they’re over represented compared to the normal population and there isn’t that much discrimination.

There’s still discrimination against Asian applicants and they’re also over represented so I don’t think the data shows that it’s necessarily stopped.
