How do we know the stated reason is the real reason?

The one thing I don't see being raised anywhere is that it's incredibly common in civil society for folks who are "shrill" (supportive of equality for all races, gender identities, etc) tend to be pushed out for "lack of cultural fit".

One of the problems is that a lot of people who are nominally "supportive of equality for all races, gender identities, etc" are actually openly hostile to cishet white men with money.

I think it's possible to separate those two things and I have this hypothesis that you will get further if you are careful to do so and are less likely to be called "shrill" and pushed out.

The fact that the racist Sarah Jeong still works there weighs against this theory. The Times is depressingly “woke.”
