Who in general sense is disadvantaged by reverse discrimination?

Reverse discrimination generally disadvantages individuals from historically privileged groups, typically those who are not part of minority or marginalized communities. This can manifest in contexts like hiring, promotions, or educational admissions, where policies aimed at correcting historical inequalities may inadvertently limit opportunities for these individuals. Critics argue that such practices can perpetuate new forms of inequality and resentment. However, supporters contend that they are necessary to address systemic disparities and promote diversity.
