No, it's a conscious push to increase the diversity of the student body. That was never disputed, Harvard's pretty open about this.
The thing is, all those students have is those super high SAT scores. Nothing else about them stands out, to make them an attractive applicant to Harvard. That is why other, more interesting students are chosen. People have this misbegotten idea that the only thing that should matter in admissions is the SAT, and that's just wrong. No university works that way, that I'm aware of.
It's pretty hard to say that Harvard discriminates against Asian students, when 22% of its admissions are Asian students, well out of scale with their proportion of the population.

In short, yes. Because SAT scores aren't the huge deal you apparently think they are.
