I remember the diversity classes. I think they were pushed by Wall Street mutual funds. They would put pressure on the company boards to implement diversity programs or effectively face sanctions affecting their stock price.
And banks were accused of ‘red lining’ mortgage loans. Clerks used to look at photo copies of borrowers drivers licenses to see if they could be claimed as Hispanic or something to meet the quotas. Eventually, it came to 5 million mortgage loans to illegal aliens, lol.
