It works like this:
If there are 100 places and 10 of them are reserved for a quota (let's say there's only a single quota), everyone runs for the 90 universal places. If you're eligible to the quota but make it into the first 90, you'll get one of those 90 universal spots. Now, if you don't make it into the first 90 and have quotas on your favour, you'll now run with everyone else that's in the same situation as you for the last 10 places, so if you had at least the 10th best score among the quotists who didn't make it into the top-90 overall, you'll get in.
It makes it much easier to get in since a minority of people have access to the quotas. The way you describe the less apt asians would be running against the more apt non-asians, and thus have a smaller chance of getting into the universal portion of the places. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that if you're right, then the system here actually benefits the quotist more.
And of course religious diversity in schools makes for better academic output. Schools should never touch religion. We have universities around here which actually have religion (as in their religion) as required credits for every course. It's ridiculous.

Well... that's just stupid if your quotas actually work that way. I've never seen or heard of quotas actually working that way.
Of course your region also teaches America as one continent somehow doesn't it?

I'm not a fan of quoatas myself, but the idea behind it is to make access to universities easier to a group of people who would rarelly ever get there otherwise because they have weaker education prior to that. It's meant to be a way to help income distribution by distributing study better, a way to make sure people won't be stuck in a loop because they were born on poverty and never get a chance to get ou of it. That's why the system works in a way that the student who's elegible for the quotas get's a big advantage over the others. Still, the percentage is small and it's not like getting in without them gets that much harder, even if it obviously does get harder.
Why is that stupid, or better yet, worse than what you described?
About America, kinda. They do define Anglo-America and Latin America as well as South, Central and North America, so it depends on the context.

It's stupid because it gurantees inequality based on race. With the way it works in america... people with quotas still get a big advantage, because they have less competition for said spots if said inequality exists.
It self adjusts for how well and how bad said students are doing.... which is important since the goal is equality. You always make sure the percentage is equal to what it should be.
