I don't think his hate was exclusively racist. He hated all dumb people in general. His stories are not that long, You’ll get the picture of his work in a day.

But there is also this:
- He hated blacks so much he created otherworldly monstrosity Shub niggurath, which is basically some unknown being or power that helps all species including humans breed endlessly.
- other alien deity, Nyarlathotep, which loves to create chaos and plays with our reality like child with a toy has many forms but mostly reveals in form of very dark skinned man or pharaoh with black skin
- like >>12679737 said most of these creatures are alins beyond our reckoning and rational thinking people are driven mad when they study them deeper. Only simpletons can't be affected by it because their mind is not smart enough to soak in the horror. This is greatly described in Color out of space.
- Also read his story Street, which basically says English ancestors good, Other races/nations bad.
- Shadow over Innsmouth is about women being raped by fish monsters. Their children later marry normal humans. Basically a metaphore for interracial marriage.
- Wrote a story about guy who kills himself because he finds out his grandma was a monkey.
-Lovecraft's wife said he had meltdown when he saw black beggar on street.
