Yeah - not to defend Lovecraft but his racism was just one manifestation of his fear of just about everything, and I think he's much more irrational than most people think. He's not writing racist stories because he's read some pamphlet - it's much more obsessive and Freudian, with his weird upbringing and mental issues only half-covered by his scientism.

I read something suggesting that he had basically reached the limits of his ideas and couldn't work out how to go around them. So he didn't have any good ideas, basically. Ever wondered what HPL's favourite words were, btw? Wonder no more: http://arkhamarchivist.com/wordcount-lovecraft-favorite-words/
