In what way was he more racist? Like, was he a KKK member during its New England revival in the 1920's?

I'd honestly be interested to hear. I wonder if it's more that his racist views are more accessible to us than the idle thoughts of a random New Englander.

No, he was pretty damn racist even for living when and where he did.

There is a pretty good run down here. Skip the first half and start at "Response to those who say Lovecraft merely reflected the racism and hatred of his times"
