If you look at % breakdowns of elite universities now (though I sort of hesitate to include NYU in that bucket..), one of the biggest / fastest growing groups would be how many foreign nationals they admit now vs 10/20/30 years ago.

For a lot of these schools, foreign admissions are a big economic contributor because foreign nationals pay full freight (plus sometimes additional costs/fees). From wikipedia in 2022 the largest racial group at NYU was actually foreign nationals at 24%, with current estimates as high as 28%.

After that the remaining 76%, the biggest groups are - 23% White & 19% Asian anyway. If you decompose the foreign national numbers down, they are majority European & Asian country of origin. From some light googling, it would seem 15% of NYU students are Chinese & Indian nationals, above and beyond the 19% Asian American. So overall its hard to see admissions as being terribly discriminatory in this particular regard at NYU..
