You have a completely distorted view of the history of these programs which LONG predate 2020. Unfortunately so do a lot of people.

  Not the OP, but I think that it would be fair to say that these ideas peaked during that time. For me, the photo of Wells Fargo managers kneeling in front of their huge money safes will always be the icon of that time. You cannot really get more performative than that. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-16/banks-snared-in-race-conversation-confronted-by-bleak-legacy?embedded-checkout=true https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-16/banks-sna...

  I think they may confused because 1) the specific phrase "diversity, equity, inclusion" and term "DEI" only really started to be common around 2019-2020, and 2) DEI only really entered the public discourse in the past couple years. This is causing people who were not that aware of these topics before to jump to the incorrect conclusion that because they weren't seeing discussion of "DEI" before that period, corporate diversity programs in general must be recent, whereas in reality it's only this specific name for them that is recent.
