Uh...It's true that Caucasian has the mark, mcat and interview, but many asian does too. An asian can have 30+ mcat but with a 6 in verbal. Its not a direct discrimination against asians but no matter how you look at it, Asians are indirectly at a disadvantages. Many asian applicants has the marks too, but where they fail is the verbal, the writing component, the interviews. English as second language? To some extend, the verbal section is almost designed for Caucasians, i mean yeah, reading and comprehending is important for a doctor...but not to the extend or level of complexity tested on MCAT. I do agree that with strong qualification, it opens up many opportunity but not always do you possess the ""grades" you will always get into any school. (out-of-state status?)
