The HP Lovecraft Historical Society's adaptation of the "Call of Cthulhu" did not make the Cthulhu cultists raided by Inspector Legrasse of African descent as described in the story. They recognized that this bit of gratuitous racism only detracted from the power and value of the original story. While I think it would be wrong to go back and censor the original, I have no problem with adaptations that are explicitly identified as such, even if the medium of the adaptation is the same as that of the original (i.e. a novel adaptation of a novel, comic adaptation of a comic, etc.).
