One's SAT score is not a measure of the content of one's character. In any case, the study being quoted here did not give any evidence that race was even being used as a factor in admissions decisions.

If you favor giving bonus points based on one's economic status, then that will correlate to the same sort of results this study revealed, with black and hispanic populations being over-represented versus an admissions policy based purely on standardized test scores.
