      doesn’t make it ok

      Funnily enough, he agrees with you.

      That earlier illness had kept me in seclusion, limited my knowledge of the world, & given me something of the fatuous effusiveness of a belated adolescent when I finally was able to get out more around 1920, is hardly much of an excuse.

      Yeah it's kind of hard to not admit that he was a racist given all his various elements in his works as well as the name he bestowed his cat. I wonder though if factor in this sentiment was due to his self imposed isolation and likely untreated manic depressive moods (given that his mother was lobotomized Lovecraft feared any kind of psychological aid and is likely why he portrays madhouses as such hellscapes).
