So for instance, if you play Lacrosse, that's good, if you play violin, that's bad. The rationale is that Asians are far overrepresented because they do so well academically.
Asian parents have been angrily protesting for a few years now because of discrimination in ivy leagues admission and it's a factor in talks to remove affirmative action there. Asians do well academically so they get dinged for not being "well rounded". If you read about how Jews were historically discriminated against by ivy leagues, the arguments are close to identical.
