Why do employers ask about gender and race?

I've answered as both “white male” and “decline to answer” and received arbitrary rejections after spending time on interview code challenges. If I put a different answer and showed up for an interview, would the employer say “oh, we thought you were black”? If not, why do employers ask? Is there a hidden systemic racial diversity quota?
