Doesn't that heavily depend on where the employee is based?

Quotas are legal in many states. Granted the author is likely based in CA. Still, let's keep away from absolutes.

FWIW I also don't support discrimination in whichever direction. However, so far the story is "there was some kind of quota delaying my promotion". Is that really news or surprising?

I guess it is surprising someone just stated it to them directly but this whole thing isn't particularly juicy yet.

It is a crime [1]. You don't have to hurt someone's career prospects on the basis of skin color to apply affirmative action.
