Changes

Like many members of the [[Progressive Movement]], Lovecraft openly held racist [[Eugenicist]] beliefs in addition to believing that the inhabitants of the world were stratified in terms of cultural development. He perceived that white western culture, particularly that of the Anglo-Saxon nations was superior to that of other cultures. Lovecraft also expressed disdain for 'racial inbreeding' as well as for lower class economic migrants in America. <ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fzSrmR1PRO0C&pg=PA103&dq=lovecraft+racism&hl=en&ei=H4DtS6eQFZ6XONvBmbAI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=lovecraft%20racism&f=false Books.google.co.uk]</ref>  This was reflected in some of his stories, as he depicted 'degenerate' racial hybrids as worshipers of monstrous false gods such as Cthulhu.
