The 2002 Guyana Prize for Literature

But Gilkes takes this theme even further. Again, without shame, he declares himself “a mudhead,” adopting the name by which Guyanese have been called by other West Indians. The mudhead is the identity he claims in his acceptance speech as well as in the book that won him the Guyana Prize. It is the declaration of belonging by a returned exile. He calls it Joanstown, a tribute paid to the city of Georgetown and to Joan, whom he married. He puns on their names in the title as much as he does upon the more infamous Jonestown. 

You must really take the racism charges to heart to go digging up obscure articles in defense of your blunder. The fact is that you have yet to answer why you used the word "mudhead" to refer to Indos.  You really expect us to believe that you meant to refer to Guyanese in general? Come on now, at least be comfortable in your own skin and accept that you have racist tendency no matter how small.
