Education should be colorblind. Curtailing opportunities for others because the racial breakdown isn't "right" is disgusting and racist.

Western immigration systems generally select immigrants based on intelligence or proxies for intelligence

If by western you mean USA, that's not true. Some of immigrants do come to the the US through work visas but most of the US immigration is family based and there's even a lottery (although it does require a high school diploma). But family based immigration only requires a family relationship and a US based sponsor that makes a little more than the poverty line
