Not following what this has to do with choosing the best teacher candidates.  And why is choosing the best regardless of skin color a 'problem'?

Maybe all the tap dancing should stop and let's just call these what they are: quotas.

Quotas are never useful.
Quotas are like five year plan kind of stuff.  Like when a refinery is demanded to produce a certain amount of kerosene and managers will be imprisoned or shot if they dont.  Guess what, the barrels got filled.  And the substance was similar to kerosene.  But not quite.  This is literally why Russia's moon rocket failed.  Fuel impurities.  
A liquid is either kerosene or not, or if there are impurities,  those impurities can be quantified and one product might be more pure than another.
Teachers aren't commodities like this.  When someone says "the White teacher was better" or "the Black teacher was better" that might be more subjective than not.
