Hire people based on skills, personality and etc, not based on skin color, which includes not being held to a quota if you are the employer if no one can be found within a pigment caste. The EEOC requires employers to hire people based on skills, regardless of religion, ethnicity or creed.
Also, private employers are not forced to hire according to the EEOC, but they may not purposely discriminate against people based on such trivialities.

They also must be careful of people working in the same facility or department who are related or married.
