Dig into my prior posts about class composition for one perspective on how to dig out the ultimate answer you are seeking - how many seats does School X have for my demographic in any given class. To me - that is the real number of seats you are competing for. An appointee can say they received one of 1400 appointment offers out of ~15000 that applied, but the reality is that they were only ever really competing for a smaller subset of the overall class composition. Many will see my view as negative, but I am just being a realist.
At the end of the day, there are elements about your student resume that you control. Race and gender are two things out of your control. If they are out of your control, you should be aware but cannot dwell on the matter - it is a poor use of your most precious commodity - time.
Regardless - white males make up more seats in ANY SA class than any other single demographic. So is it a disadvantage?
