oh lord this is ever so much on my mind
From the Space Jews article on tv tropes:
Deep Ones are water negroes. That is all. Probably intentional example do to Lovecrtaft's massive, massive racism, and his being from a time when that was okay. Perhaps they're just generically foreign: Cpt. Marsh is said to have met them in the East Indies.
*covers face*
New rule: In my next Cthulhu game, except for the ones where everyone is playing cultists, I'm making my players all be black mixed race gay jews to make HP Lovecraft's little weirdo ghost cry. And probably spend the next few weeks sitting at the edge of my bed trying to negotiate it while I go 'go away! You're dead!'
That would be pretty interesting, actually. We usually have gay and black covered each game anyway.
