I think this situation is overstated and false. Whites face far more competition from other whites than from black people. There are relatively few of us (12 percent of population), and we are also under-represented in colleges. But I think the most obvious proof that affirmative action is not giving blacks an unfair advantage is that we still have a higher unemployment rate and we're still under-represented in academia. Affirmative action has benefited white females more than any other group (look up education and employment stats from 1960 to present on this site: http://w3.access.gpo.gov/eop/ca/index.html) So people should question who's the real target with the attacks on affirmative action.
