"Any imbalance of demographic was interpreted as a result of discrimination. "
This is hugely-important observation. Why on Earth would they expect every place to have an equal division of races? And why would having more of one than another automatically be racist?
A quick example from my area is in sports. There's more white people interested in hockey, more black people interested in basketball, and so you see more of each on those teams. More in their ads, too. Under DEI-like thinking, they're so racist that we need to implement quotas to make sure the players are the right colors to hit a specific ratio. That's insane and encourages racist thinking.
The reason for them doing this seems to be two fold. First, they're about equity (equal outcomes), not equal opportunity. Equal outcomes means the end result has to be split evenly among people. Equal opportunity allows imbalances when people in one group outwork the others or were simply generous or recipients of generosity. Marxism/communism tried economies built on equity (equal outcomes) with catastrophic results.
Second, it implies minority members are idiots, weak, or unable to advance without their help. Often liberal whites early on in intersectionality movement. Whereas, we Christians think minority members are human beings with all the good and bad that comes with it. They have brains, muscles, social skills, and resources. We don't look down on them and we'll help anybody in need.
Third, it's a matter of faith for them. The liberal universities teach them that invisible, subtle racism is one of the worst things in society. Also, it's always whites doing it. If they're shouting about it, others are required to say and do similar things. So, if they do DEI policies, then others should do them to fight the great enemy of structural, white racism. They should do this no matter what DEI costs us in terms of merit less employees or racial division. Also, nobody can ever question these people or reject their policies, or they get canceled.
These are the traits that seem to combine to promote it. The end result has been a lot of damage. I'm glad it's reversing.
