How will "minorities and females encouraged to apply " affect my employment chances?

I am a heterosexual white male. I applied for a job with the above listed caption noted on the online application. How will this affect my chances of being hired, all other things being equal. Note: since neither sympathy nor scorn will pay my bills, all such answers will be ignored, by me at least. I am seeking an economic, numeric, or psycho-social answer as to my actual question.
