Why are asians put into same group as whites? They are minority and are still badly discriminated, mostly at university acceptance.

That's news. At Universities here they make up a disproportionate amount of students (ie. a larger percentage of the student body is Asian than would be expected given their percentage of the overall population)...

They would be an even bigger percentage if not for discrimination.

The US used to have quotas for Jews in many universities, as did the Soviet Union. The unofficial quota system for Asians is no different.

Many students in US are from abroad, in that case Asians are 60% of world population.

Tech is brimming with diversity so he can't make a good statistical argument without lumping whites and Asians together as one race. His goal isn't racial diversity, it is the advancement of his race only. Even at the expense of other minorities like Asians.
