Depends on what they lost on.

A premed, biology grad just lost out on a 500k/yr job by not getting into medical school.

OPs dad got into medical school with this discrimination, so its not a leap to imagine OP would have grown up in a lower middle class area if not for discrimination.

If that were always true, AA wouldn't be needed. OPs data could have just gotten into a different school where they don't discriminate.
