📖 題組：
By most standards, Austin Jia holds an enviable position. A rising sophomore at Duke, Mr. Jia attends one of the top universities in the country, setting him up for success. With his high G.P.A., nearly perfect SAT score and activities — debate team, tennis captain and state orchestra — Mr. Jia believes he should have had a fair shot at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania. However, those Ivy League colleges rejected him after he applied in the fall of 2015. It was particularly disturbing, Mr. Jia said, when classmates with lower scores than his — but who were not Asian-American, like him — were admitted to those Ivy League institutions. “My gut reaction was that I was super disillusioned by how the whole system was set up,” Mr. Jia, said. Students like Mr. Jia are now the subject of a lawsuit accusing Harvard of discriminating against Asian-Americans in admissions by imposing a penalty for their high achievement and giving preferences to other racial minorities.

請觀察文章末句關於哈佛大學招生制度的具體指控，文中將申請者區分為面臨 $penalty$（成就懲罰）的亞裔與享有 $preferences$（優先錄取權）的「其他少數族裔」。請思考：在四個選項中，哪一個族群在身分歸類上不屬於 $Asian-American$？根據文中所述邏輯，這將如何影響該族群被錄取的機率（$probability$）？

- 觀念驗證： 這是一題標準的「細節推論題」。文中明確指出 Harvard 被指控對 Asian-Americans（亞裔美國人）施加「成就懲罰」（imposing a penalty），並給予 other racial minorities（其他少數族裔）「優先權」（preferences）。
