What specific evidence does the lawsuit present to support its claim of racial discrimination in UC's undergraduate admissions process?

The lawsuit claims UC's "holistic" review process, which moves away from objective criteria, disadvantages Asian American and white applicants while allegedly harming students of all races through discriminatory practices. The complaint cites the disparity in admission rates for Black students at UC Berkeley, which dropped from 13% in 2010 to 10% in 2023, compared to overall admission rates of 21% and 12%, respectively.
