It is more important to consider how most of Americans of that time were racist (and even eugenists) . Lovecraft is a man of the XXe century and judging him with contemporary ideas seems a bit meaningless.
Lovecraft also lied through his teeth about his family history, making up a load of crock about being centuries old New England old money, and married a Jew. So somewhat conflicted.

Most EVERYONE of that time.

He also had gay friends, so yeah he wasn't the Klansman type some modern critics try to paint him as. He was clearly a conflicted person.
KentAllard Interesting point, do you have a source to that claim?
@@johnmars5282 I have heard that basically Lovecraft was a closeted homosexual before that was even a term.
@@medicwheat69 Not likely. He was barely even heterosexual.
