I found it hard to track in a static visualization but I bet it works better on a dynamic platform on a desktop but not well over my phone;

I do like the context provided by the middle two charts.

I work at one of those companies, and let me tell you, D&I is all they ever talk about. We even have a "chief diversity officer" lol.

And it's funny, because the diversity they're striving to achieve has already been accomplished years ago, and now they're just making it less diverse.

As someone who lives in the USA, I’d guess it’s because of multiple factors:

(1) USA is one of the most diverse places in the world. So when you have so many people with diverse cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds, this naturally leads to tension.

(2) Equality and freedom are a strong part of the American identity, so people vigorously fight and protest for whatever their version of that is… and our strong freedom of speech laws and non-tyrannical government let’s them do that.

(3) Compared to other ways people can be diverse, race is usually pretty easy to identify.

(4) Race-related topics are frequently shoved in our faces by the media and company/school diversity initiatives.
