I was talking to a friend when we got onto the subject about diversity. We both worked in academia and talked about how there was a hard push for diversity.
Right after Mao Zhe Dong passed mainland China has to rebuild their entire white shirt class. Engineers, doctors, and more had been killed or tortured for not being communist enough. So the country spent money sending as many young men to school as they could. Whole engineering departments at schools were Chinese only. The school could charge a ton of extra money for these students, and then rent for housing, and then food.
At this same time places like Fiji, Samoa, the Phillipines, and Nigeria had students going to America to study. The schools that accepted them made tons of money off of it. One of the schools I was at had Saudi Arabians. They worked in oil fields until they had the money to go to school, and they spent it with pleasure.
With tons of students coming from other countries, the schools began to make a lot of extra money. They also ran into a weird issue where the foreign students had no interests in stuff like Anthropology, history, or communications. I studied in Hawaii for one of my degrees and there were tons of native Hawaiians, and a very white female student body for anthropology. So the teachers changed the narrative on how to study. You can't call a Hawaiian foreign when he's taking a class with you. So they changed the narrative to that of conciliation over what they had done beforehand. The narrative itself didn't change, white people were still dominant amazing people, but suddenly this was a bad thing.
White regular students began to demand diversity, and the schools were raking it in from those foreign students. So they changed everything to be pro foreign. Then the foreign took over the departments. The conciliation narrative changed again, and it stopped saying white people were powerful.
Even today, schools will do everything to get those foreign students because of all the money they will get from it. They also tell the more common students to not offend the foreign ones. Teachers promote it to get more foreign students, and because white students accepted it.
And now we're here
It was certainly pushed on me when I was in high school. I went to a "good" public school full of spoiled rich kids, so they were very concerned about jacking up the percentage of graduates who went to college. Whether they dropped out by the end of September didn't concern them nearly as much. They bragged that it was 93% at my graduation. The counseling office sent me a note some time during senior year badgering me about college because they hadn't received any transcript requests. I went to community college right out of high school, so I could have applied a week before classes started and attended without issue. Had I realized it was all about their precious stats back then I would have held off on applying until after graduation.
