As a non-native English speaker and European, I find these "minor language tweaks" pure distraction. I mean, one could raise taxes and offer quality free education to everyone -- like many European countries already do. One could also enforce more wage transparency to fight systematic salary discrimination. But it's so much cheaper to capitalize one letter.

There! Now everyone knows I am actively fighting discrimination and it costs me zero.

In fairness I'm not sure the New York Times really has the authority to do that.

Well, they could spend more paper on showing how other OECD countries tackle discrimination and even campaign for similar measures in the US.
