It isn't a quota, but many companies have been sued by the Federal EEOC for, either not having a plan at all or for not making an effort to hire employees from these specific groups of people. For example, if you have a workforce that is all men or all whites, and you don't have a written affirmative employment plan and haven't made a sincere effort to hire minorities and women, you are violating the law. The EEOC can sue you in Federal court, and you can be fined and forced to change your hiring practices. It is a mandate.

Uh huh yup that's true. Meanwhile in the real world, on applications when you get to the EEOC section, the application is not required to fill out ANY of the questions. They are allowed to skip every single one of them if they wish.
At Amazon, you don't even get an interview. The entire application is done online, and you are hired or not hired depending on whether or not you pass their online tests and can show availability that matches their needs.
