Not just your pocketbook, but your property, person, and privacy.
Are you REALLY a "true libertarian"? Even though you'd deny people to act freely upon any basis they so choose? You obviously would maintain laws against "racism" by private individuals, hence preventing them from acting in accordance with their own beliefs and preferences. No one who believes that could call themselves a "true libertarian".
I personally lean more toward libertarian nationalism. That is, I believe in libertarian ideals, but I also believe in the concept of a nation. Like, with borders, and national interests. I also believe that there's nothing wrong with a government putting the interests of it's own nation above that of other nations. Just as most any family puts the interest of it's own above that of that of other families. I believe nations are organic entities which occur naturally. Ours is the first to be founded on the principals of the enlightenment (freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, from unreasonable search and seizure, habeas corpus, so forth). Post revolutionary France was also, but they reverted in many ways to the outdated forms of statecraft of their neighbors. However people WITHIN the nation choose to organize and deal with each other is their business, not the government's.
