Why is ogi_ogas the maintainer of something that purports to be an SFF critique group?

I decided to go for it, not on the grounds of his adjectives, but on the grounds of the truly horrific racism, religious prejudice, and all-around stereotyping.

"Lagos dey peppershit of Africa. I think worst city in all world.” Wheel’s young black chauffeur Badu navigated the Pathfinder 4x4 through the squelching wetlands around Lake Chad, head joggling to some kind of draggy triphop with pidgin english lyrics, several songs seemed to concern angels and devils."
"“Don’t you have to pray to Mecca?”

“Sake of what?”

“Aren’t you Moslem?”

“You go to the church?”

“Nope.”

“You dey Jew?”

“Nope.”

“Ah-ah you no dey Christian, no dey Jew. No religion nohow.”

“That’s right.”

“So then why you asking me.”

Wheel shrugged. “Mahamat is Moslem.”

“Big man head no correct. Him no dey Moslem, him into nothing but big trouble, like you.”

And don't forget:

"Broad daylight, all these witnesses, Christ, he was going to get burned for sure. But no way in hell he was going to let some poshed out talent from Red China beat his play, not with fifty freaking million at stake--and definitely not when he was at the target’s doorstep, weapons in hand. Besides, it was Nigeria, not civilization; as long as he could get out of this big wet asshole of a country when he was done, it wouldn’t matter."

Not to mention describing someone's dreadlocks as looking like 'chimp's pubes'.

Jesus wept.

In answer to the original question . . . um, because he is secretly filled with self-loathing?
