I agree with most of this but I do think that Lovecraft was above-average in racism even for the time he lived in. Certainly in terms of virulence. He was very, very, very racist.

This exactly. And I'm saying this as someone who does enjoy his writing.

"I agree with most of this but I do think that Lovecraft was above-average in racism even for the time he lived in. Certainly in terms of virulence. He was very, very, very racist."

No, he definitely was; like, many of his contemporaries were very aware how intensely racist he was. His wife, Sonia Greene, was outright disturbed by how intensely anti-Semitic he was (despite her being Jewish herself and reminding him of that constantly); Wilfred Branch Talman, a friend and colleague, noticed and commented on it in his works, though he thought it was just a reflection of the weird 18th-century-style prose he wrote in; there was a public essay published in 1915 by Charles D. Isaacson during a back-and-forth between the two about Birth of a Nation calling him out as a racist. People noticed how extreme his views were even at the time.

This wasn't just a "it was how people were" thing. He was a huge racist by the standards of 1920s America.
