lovecraft was a great horror writer but man, there is simply no way to excuse how incomprehensibly racist the man was. like seriously he may legitimately be the most comically racist man of the 20th century. lovecraft was so stupidly racist and xenophobic, he didn’t just hate non-whites, for most of his life he also hated literally anyone and anything from outside of his specific demographic of upper class white anglos from providence, rhode island.
words cannot express how violently, unfathomably intolerant howard phillips lovecraft was.
