Say that applies to a school. Normally the top 100 students get in, but now, less than that will get in due to affirmative action (Assuming there are minorities below that 100 level who wouldn't normally get in) and will miss out due to minorities less highly rated being given positions due to their color alone.
I know how affirmative action programs in general operate.

So I repeat, white males are not disadvantaged, they're simply not advantaged to the same degree they've become accustomed.
