Answer
His controversial views on race caused many in the sci-fi community to distance themselves from Campbell in the 1960s. Campbell's views were seen as outdated and racist, and many felt that he was no longer fit to be the editor of Astounding Science Fiction. This led to a decline in the magazine's popularity, and Campbell was eventually forced to step down as editor.
