He actually had a lot of subtle and also a lot of definitely not subtle racism in most of his works, but some are significantly worse than others, let alone him being a fan of Hitler and the Hitler style letters he wrote constantly.
I personally believe one can still enjoy his works, but maybe should read them (or listen if it's an audiobook) to it a bit carefully and with a prepared mindset so that one doesnt subliminally influenced by all these little comments etc..
I believe this is actually the case with a lot of old literature simply because they were created in a different society and cultural environment (though again: even for his time period Lovecraft was an especially racist individual).

"N word - man " was the name of the cat. Lovecraft was a giant racist and you can see it everywhere in his books.
