Yeah, I've read people make excuses for him, that it was just the time, but it seems that even by the standards of the age he was extreme. He came from old Providence society but his family lost all its money and he seemed to equate their decline with the arrival into America of what he called 'lower races'. The only real debate is the extent to which his politics fed into his actual mythos writing. Certainly it's there in stories like Shadow over Innsmouth.
It is what it is. I suppose. Like the whole Wagner thing.
