Too bad, so sad.

Firms like BlackRock were simply doing what their customers wanted them to. A large portion of which are public pension funds like teachers pension funds
You think the firm run by the guy who is in charge of the WEF was just doing what the teachers pension fund of Peoria told him to do?
I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

The Boomers are the most selfish generation and I’m proud of it!!!

Yes. The evidence is irrefutable. The largest pension funds in the country are public teacher’s retirement accounts. What do you think the priorities of of the average public school teacher in California or New York are? The invest their money in companies that reflect their values. More accurately they tell firms like BlackRock and Vanguard to invest in companies that reflect their values. So BlackRock tells Cracker Barrel and Tractor supply to adopt uber liberal policies or not get invested in. Voila, pride flags on display when you just want a hash brown casserole after church on Sunday.

BS! Affirmative action, original DEI, Was around since the 70s.The boomers paid for it 1st.
It (AA) covered everyone but white males...including white females.
So true. When my brother was trying to get a job in media in the 1980s he seriously thought about putting his credentials on a resume with the name of a black female on it to see how long it would take to get hired.
Companies were trying to present a front of The Mod Squad long before the 2010's.

So Progressives and Liberals are now trying to deflect from the policies they championed to blame “old white men”?
That appears to be the case. The reality is that the left was the instrument that threaded AA and DEI through the last 50 to 60 years of government, corporate and media policy.
We need to have a full meritocracy without the commie social crap.

I should have clarified that it was supposed to work like that and that is how it was sold to the public.
Stupid white people.

Blackrock manages $15 trillion in assets.
No one tells them what to do.
They invest and drive corporate policy or the corporation gets new management.
The idea that some pension fund dictates anything to them is legitimately hilarious.

Blackrock itself was infected with the same wokeness that affected so many other funds, companies and policies for much the same reasons.
The difference is that unlike pure politics and political bureaucracies, the shite gets real when the crap they back in stock market policies fails.

Could be DEI?
That suggests they weren't quite ready.
Lol they fricking weren't when your timeline suggests either

It’s not the same.
It’s the difference between disease vs symptoms.
Larry Fink runs blackrock.
Larry Fink now runs the WEF.
The WEF among others like Bilderburg is where the globalist climate change and DEI agenda was being talked about and pushed into every facet of European society for 20-30 years. Klaus Schwab, etc.
It’s a mask for the globalist families like the Rothschilds to wear to push their agenda while keeping their names out of the news.
If you want to argue that there are layers past the Bilderburg crew and WEF that’s entirely fair but when the guy who now runs the WEF and could change their social political agenda if he wanted to is directly injecting it into every publicly traded company’s board it’s not just a side effect of some woke members, it’s a stated goal pursued for decades and forced down our throats at economic gunpoint.
My point being I blame boomers for a number of things, I don’t blame them for DEI as the OP originally stated.

what is your point?

That the OP is correct.
You are whining about programs with origins in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, when the same cohort had virtually no say in those programs' structure or implementation. Yet, that is the group you claim to be solely addressing.
It is Critical Theory exemplified.

When Did Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Start?
While there is no formal consensus, most DEI supporters cite the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a catalyst for the modern DEI industry. The act made discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin illegal in employment, leading to further developments:
1960s: Following the U.S. Civil Rights Act, affirmative action policies were implemented to proactively address the historical underrepresentation of certain groups, primarily focused on race.
1970s: Over time, the concept expanded to encompass gender with the rise of the Feminist Movement, Shirley Chisholm running for U.S. President and the attempt at the Equal Rights Amendment. The first Employee Resource Group was created at Xerox.
1980s: The movement continued to expand beyond racial issues and gender equality to embrace a broader spectrum of diversity. During this period, DEI initiatives began to recognize and address the diverse needs of various identity groups, including ethnic, religious and LGBTQ+ communities.
