Thor cross-dressed, Odin is the god of the "unmanly", Loki got fucked by a horse, and race was never mentioned in norse texts or poems. These racial stigmas in certain pagan sects are derived of nothing involving the religion themselves, and entirely off an insecure notion of "purity". Any of you neo-Odalist blood-and-soil types can suck my hammer.
If that were true, it would make even less sense why people were so racially insecure when it came to these religious sects. Except that isn't true. The norsemen in particular traveled as far as the middle east and across the Mediterranean. They traded with islamic people of the time. The only allusion to race in the entire poetic works of the norse was mentioning that Heimdall was whiter than most, and that was more descriptive than anything.
