Yes, minorities are applying. We just don't often hear about them getting turned away because they may not be well known.
We only would hear about Colin Powell because he is famous.

What he's essentially saying is that those relatively few Blacks who are turned away could be turned away on a legit basis. They could be in the same boat as the whites who are turned away, since there are more whites who are turned away to mirror the larger proportion of whites who apply.
This is why this type of thing is difficult to "prove" so it gets swept under the rug. Suffice it to say that there are clubs that have had discriminatory rules on the books and discriminatory practices that aren't on the books. I believe some of these rules and practices have been documented years ago.
