Describe how race-focused collectivists likely argue when they perceive a race is underrepresented in college admissions.

Race-centered collectivists are likely to argue that the race or races underrepresented in the admissions are discriminated against, and that their rights as a group have been violated. It rarely matters if the admission process is based on rational standards such as academic or other achievements, if some arbitrary standard laid down by the founders of the college is the cause of the disparity, or if it can be explained by other reasons. For race-focused collectivists, it is enough that the racial composition is “off.” Their default remedy is typically race-based quotas guaranteeing a proportional share of spots for the underrepresented race.
