Does race matter for international applicants?

On MBA schools’ websites disclosing the race/ethnicity breakdown of their class, it always refers to US race/ethnicity, while non-US students are bucketed as “international”. Does this mean international students don’t count for racial diversity and they don’t consider race when evaluating international applicants against one another?

Even though the official breakdown is “international” it definitely does make a difference. Always harder for Indians and Chinese

 

What about different races from the same country? For example, an Indian vs Black candidate applying from an international pool like UK/Canada
