This is common in Europe.
For example, in Norway, a listed company as well as other companies above a certain size is required to have at least 40 % of the board consisting of women. They also have to report on women / minorities in leadership positions, salaries for men vs women and so forth.
It is probably just a matter of time before there will be a similar quota for minorities, although it is not required yet.
Most European countries have similar laws. It will probably be implemented in the US as well within not too many years...
How weird can people get. Thank goodness my forebears got the hell out of Norway. Sounds like it's slowly turning into a progressive nightmare.
