I used to go out with a girl who was half Brazilian, half Saudi, and she got into Oxford. She got talking to one of the people who works there and it turns out that they have an equal opportunities policy which actually favours people who are non-white, particularly if they're mixed race because it ticks two boxes.
I'm not saying this guy didn't get where he got through hard work - in fact I doubt it'd be possible to be accepted to Cambridge without being able to do the job - but you can't just say race is out of the equation like that means anything.
