About 10% Asian, so not non existent, which is funnily enough about the same as percentage of Asians in NZ (though granted, not Auckland).
I don't doubt for a second that King's is elitist and rich and white, but I am not sure I would go as far as saying they actively don't accept people because of their skin colour and religion. Also, their number of spaces for girls might be lower than for boys.
I have no interest in selling King's as a school, but I don't think it is fair to accuse their admissions policy of being racist or discriminatory based on one person being put on a waiting list rather than accepted straight away.
