Affirmative Action did not and does not apply only to "minorities." Affirmative Action ALWAYS included women as well as people of color. White women are the main beneficiaries of so-called Affirmative Action. If you doubt me, then please go back to the original Executive Order. People of color NEVER get a benefit unless white people receive it as well. You, an, obviously, many others, have been trained to think of Affirmative Action as benefiting people who are "not qualified" or "less deserving." Somehow, that description only applies to the recipients who are not white.
