It uses the term "bonus" to describe how many extra SAT points an applicant's race is worth. She points to the first column.          African Americans received a "bonus" of 230 points, Lee says.She points to the second column.  "Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points."             The last column draws gasps.  Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points - in other words, they had to do that much better to win admission . . . .             "Zenme keyi," one mother hisses in Chinese.  How can this be possible?   . . . .
