I think it would be pretty easy to enforce a quota among the Nobel Prize cadidates, your example really does not apply to that. The question is more about whether it is a good or a bad thing.

Upon what basis does one quota?

Should there be correct proportions of each race? Gender? Sex? Nationality? City/Village? Each combination of the above?

Is it discriminatory that there are 0% of the candidates that have the name Karen? When clearly the percentage of the population with the name Karen is not 0?
