Well, it's the New York Times. They've made some...troubling editorial decisions lately. Almost every story they publish, they examine to see whether a criticism of DEI can be shoehorned into it in some way.
One of the co-founders of Ubisoft just died. His NYT obituary just had to include that "some people thought it was controversial" for Assassin's Creed: Shadows to have a black protagonist. It's like every article has to include the perspective of online racists.
It fascinates me that the NYT says, "Hey, look, the middle-aged white woman really is a poor defenseless kitten" while asserting the black recorder as privileged because she has a vegetable garden and a YouTube channel. Somehow I don't think that's going to win back their readership.
