Can someone be a racist and be a libertarian?

from Liberty Explained - The Basics of Libertarianism · host We Are Libertarians

Can you be a Nazi or racist or nationalist and be a libertarian? While it is theoretically possible for someone to identify as both a libertarian and a racist, nationalist, or Nazi, these ideologies are inherently contradictory. Libertarianism is anchored in rejecting force as a means for political and social change and upholds individualism and individual rights. In contrast, ideologies like racism and nationalism often embrace force and collectivism to impose their beliefs. Libertarians emphasize the dignity of all individuals and seek to protect minority groups from the tyranny of the majority. In a free society supported by libertarian principles, financial incentives encourage peaceful cooperation among diverse groups, reducing the prevalence of ideologies that rely on division and force. Thus, while one might hold racist or nationalist beliefs personally, acting on or promoting such beliefs through force is antithetical to core libertarian values.
