I don't think his time period forgives the racism, particularly since even for his time period, he was particularly bad, I just don't think that means we should sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't exist, nor that we should forget, ban, or censor Lovecraft because of it. He's a phenomenal writer, he just also happened to be a phenomenal racist.
I do agree that writing caricatures, and in the case of philosophies and creeds, strawmen is just bad writing. Though there are worse things. Anybody remember MammothFail? I was reminded of that one recently. Just goes to show that there's a sliding scale.
