As a European, you need to know that US universities ask you to state your "race" on the application form.
In most Europe of course, it would be straight out illegal as to my knowledge no country in the EU can legally do racial discrimination.
There is no such thing as "positive racial discrimination", it's racist no matter what the intent is.
Basically in USA "people of color" is a euphemism for "poor people", but acknowledging the existence of an economic underclass doesn't jive well in an ultra capitalistic society.
So identity politics and race dynamics serve as a cover for all that. People pushing all that madness aren't trying to change the system, but sustain it.
