Does the racism libs display against Asians in school admits contribute to the attacks on Asians?

The left keeps trying to blame Trump and white supremacy for the attacks on Asians being carried out mostly by young black males. Why can't we blame the fact that leftists think it's perfectly acceptable to discriminate against Asians when it comes to school admissions?
A group called Students for Fair Admissions has sued Harvard for its deliberate exclusion of students of Asian extraction. The admissions officers, the lawsuit says, exclude Asians by lowballing their subjective scores for personality traits such as “likability,” “courage,” and “kindness.” They practice racism in this manner in hopes of being more generous with racial preferences toward other groups, such as black and Hispanic students.
The Biden administration disgracefully dropped a federal lawsuit against Yale on similar grounds. The Trump administration had recognized the pernicious racism of both Ivy League schools. Lawyers from Donald Trump’s Justice Department not only sued Yale but also drafted an insightful amicus brief for this private lawsuit against Harvard.
"Harvard concedes that eliminating consideration of race would increase Asian-American admissions while decreasing those of Harvard’s favored racial groups," Justice Department lawyers noted. "The resulting racial penalty stems in part from one component of Harvard’s admissions rubric — a nebulous and entirely subjective 'personal rating' — that consistently and inexplicably produces poorer scores for Asian Americans than for other applicants. That disparity is undisputed, and unexplained.”
The extreme racism of this practice should be obvious. It goes beyond just the deliberate discrimination. Even worse is that Harvard and Yale are appealing to unfair and cruel racial stereotypes about Asians.
