I don't say this to politicize matters, but as a descriptive fact, both UCB and UCLA's rates of AA enrollment dropped off substantially after Prop 209 prohibited any consideration of race in college admissions. It's obscured somewhat because the UC system mostly provides statistics for the system as a whole, and the rates of enrollment at the other UCs didn't drop off as badly, but it's a significant issue at the two flagships. IIRC, about a decade ago it was revealed that UCLA had ~100 AA frosh in a class of ~5,000 students. Berkeley has a similar dynamic.

Yes, it had a big effect.

You can easily look up the numbers. Most every major university publishes the "common data set".

UCLA: https://www.apb.ucla.edu/campus-statisti...n-data-set

For cal, click on the year you want. For UCLA, there is a drop down menu to choose a year.
Go to section B2.

For 2017-18, UCLA had 190 African American frosh in a class of 6038, and a total enrollment of 1059 out of 31,002 - 3.4%. Or about twice the African American enrollment as Berkeley.

For that matter you can look up Stanford as well.

For 2017-18 Stanford's undergrad enrollment was 6.7% African American. 
[Stanford has a rather large fraction (~10%) of students who chose "two or more races", which could be all sorts of mixes.]
