Hindustan,
You're going overboard saying they're "racists", just because they don't select from a ultra-competitive pool so they can ensure diversity does not mean they're racist (I'm Indian, so there's no bias here).
When you look at the best business schools, part of the value is really in bringing in diverse set of people and giving them a chance to learn from each other. If everything was brought down to a couple of metrics, imagine the class! All the Americans would be from MIT, Stanford, Princeton (undergrads) and all Indians would be IITans with techie background - it would be boring and miserable because most would be similar.
It is a challenge, but look at it from a different perspective. If you were adcom, had one candidate who had a decent GPA, great recos, average GMAT but a really unique profile (e.g. police captains or national geographic documentary shooter etc) and then 3 other IIT/REC whatever with very similar profiles - who would you get in so you have some diversity?
I agree that all these adcoms aren't straight forward in saying that "yes, we do ensure diversity by not selecting some ultra-bright Indians/chinese/white" but that doesn't make them racist. It's a hard situation to be in - where statistics stare and tell you otherwise, but adcoms deny it. Sort of like diplomacy where both countries know they're lying but go ahead just the same.

Why are hey bent on saying that they take only the best applications.
If < 10 Indians are admitted, it surely means that they (admissions committee) are nothing but a bunch of liars and racists.
The language thing does give quite an indication though.
