Players are, but the overwhelming majority of management and owners aren't. Out of 32 clubs, 1 owner, 1 GM, and 2 HCs are a minority.
And, teams are allowed to "hire who you want period." This isn't about forcing someone to be hired. This is about opportunity.
The reason why the rule was put in place is because white coaches were getting rehired and fired 3 or 4 times and no minority candiates were getting interviewed.
