"You will miss the fastest growing demographic groups of this country if you truly think that everyone must be either black or white," Wu said in explaining his motivation for studying, teaching and writing about race, particularly in his book "Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White." Wu expressed a wish to introduce a "new paradigm" that includes Asian Americans and other races.
