If you mix libertarianism and racism, then you get something other than libertarianism.
Libertarianism focuses on individual liberty; individualism. Racists prefer one group of people over another, based on an ultimately arbitrary and completely uncontrollable property. Ayn Rand (admittedly a quasi-libertarian at best) wrote "racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism". Collectivism is the polar opposite of individualism.
So please, explain to me how a Libertarian can support all people's right to liberty if he also believes that some people are superior because of their race, and should be treated differently?
Also, stop pretending like you get to define libertarianism. Libertarianism was originally a synonym for social anarchism. Then capitalists stole it. So you don't get to define libertarianism, & libertarianism is so poorly defined that just about everyone can claim to be a libertarian. What you are doing is no true scotsman at its best.
