merely saying “hp lovecraft was racist” doesn’t really capture the scope of it, like most people hear that and they go “yeah no shit it was like 100 years ago, most people were really racist” but the thing was the dude was especially racist even for the time

like just contemplate how unbelievably racist someone would have to be to stand out as especially racist for the 1910′s and 20′s

This is the dude who when he found out he was part Welsh (and not 100% British) he FREAKED THE FUCKED OUT and then wrote multiple stories about people discovering they’re not 100% human and then they turn into weird demon things

The dude was racist as fuck

Like… you have to actively try to be so racist in the 1920s that other, also probably pretty racist people are like “Whoa! Dude! Calm down!”
