Puffguts is an unknown quantity at this point
The reasons why UCs have a large Asian population is due to the "iconic" image of the UC schools. Many Asian parents usually make sure their children get the message: "It is the prestigious UC or bust."

I believe caucasian dominated schools are in-fact better than diverse campuses on culture assimination. Many UCs and some Cal States, minorities create enclaves on where they hang out with ONLY their ethnic group and associate ONLY with their friends, caucasians in turn form their own enclaves and the whole campus looks like back to 1960s - enclaves of African American, Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian and other groups of students hanging out in groups and have no real desire to truely embrace diversity - they just want their own little worlds.
