Because to his anglophile mind? Being part Welsh was horrific. Lovecraft's attitudes weren't just "Whites good, darkies bad". Within the category of "White" he had a clear hierarchy of superiority within which he could be just as insanely racist.Why would lovecraft write a "racemixing bad" story right after finding out he's welsh?
What's funny is, later in his life he apparently went socialist and dropped a lot of his White/Anglo supremacist opinions and decided other cultures, specifically Native American ones were great...but should be great doing their own thing, and that cultural mixing and assimilation was what was really really bad.
