    WU is a group of chinese dialects spoken in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. (according to m-w)

    It's very handy in scrabble when you're playing in french. (because there are about 3 words using that letter..)

    You speak as if you are an insider at the NYT, know everything on the subject, and can even then definitively state that you know the exact cause for all actions in this snafu. I'm sorry to say this, but no one is omnipotent, and you are jumping to conclusions that you simply cannot. If you want a good discussion about BOTH sides of the race issue in question salon has an excellent article on the subject. To say that it is just about race is reactionary and absurd as saying that the editors insist they were doing their jobs correctly- they screwed up, they admitted it. To say they should beat themselves up until they give a signed confession supporting your view of the story is immature.
