Most peoples guesses at statistics amount to a guess based on what they see on TV. So they think everyone is rich. They guess they have a lot of sex. They think blacks as a % of the population are similar to blacks as a % of TV stars.
Your friends were right; there is not a quota system for minorities in US universities. Such policies were ruled unconstitutional in University of California v Bakke.
Your correspondents were correct that there is not a "quota system" for African Americans and Hispanics in U.S. colleges. By contrast, there really are quota systems for Dalits in India.
