I'm not entirely sure where you are getting your data from - the government seems to disagree. In 2019, 30% of white UK state school students got into higher education, compared with 45% of black, 50% of asian and 68% of chinese students. It surprises me to learn that white students actually have the lowest entry rate into higher education, well under the average of 43%.In theory, yes. However ethnic minorities are underrepresented in higher education.
In the USA, 61% of high school students went on to higher education. 65% of white students, 55% of black students, 39% of Latino students and 71% of Asian students. So, a slight underrepresentation of black students, a higher underrepresentation of Latino students but not shockingly underrepresentation.
