He hates the gym for who he is; "Great black guy" (light 265). Hatred for Olaf's Jim was expressed in various forms throughout the story, but when he talked to Ren, he called Jim Nigger, fancy a white shark and ate Jim.

The main focus of "big black people" is that people are a little scared of something different from them. Richard Wright tells his story through the eyes of an old man working in a pub and is frightened by the presence of a big black man named Jim. Olaf is a dynamic character that changed his viewpoint of blacks at the end of the story.
