DS and his friend both got into STEM this year. They are both white males. Don't know the stats on his friend, but my DS had a 36 English ACT score in 7th grade with a 32 composite. Quite a number of other poster who received acceptances are also Caucasian.
I don't think it is as much of a minority recruiting tool as the original poster believes. It may just be some of the minorities have phenomenal test scores like my sons. In our state, all those who make it to the state wide academic competitions are almost all minorities. They have earned their spot by not being a minority but by their intelligence/hard work.
