How have I never noticed this before
@Popehat jfc ... I don't even want to think about which one has the worst views.
@vegetarianzombie @Popehat HPL was not a racist, so much as a misanthrope. Read his description of the (white) inhabitants of the Catskill region in Beyond The Wall of Sleep. He basically feared/mistrusted anyone and everyone,
@zenwave @vegetarianzombie @Popehat nah, he was a racist. And an antisemite. Insulting hillbillies too doesn't negate it.
@billiecat yes, he was a racist, and an antisemite - but so much more... his fear and mistrust extended well beyond those two categories - which is perhaps why he wrote so well about terror.
