As Oxford dictionary explains:

NORTH AMERICAN- (in the context of the allocation of resources or employment) the practice or policy of favoring individuals belonging to groups known to have been discriminated against previously.
It's the codifying of the concept that two wrongs make a right

And that is what Affirmative Action is all about.

It's not unfair to whites if a company tries to counteract this tendency.

I disagree.
In the absence of affirmative action, racial disparities tend to be self-perpetuating. For example, a lot of hiring managers put a great deal of weight on referrals by current employees when hiring new employees. But if a company has mostly white workers, and those workers tend to associate primarily with other white people, then new hires will tend to be mostly white.
It's not unfair to whites if a company tries to counteract this tendency.
As I said
