Lovecraft's racism is very much a product of fear, not racial superiority. Dude was extraordinarily terrified of everything remotely foreign. It's why "strange creatures that are vaguely human but completely incomprehensible" is the generic terror in his stories.
In that sense, I find the motivations for his racism far less terrible than the motivations a racial supremacist has.
