He does however admit to harbouring a special aesthetic admiration for the Nordish race.
He says that there are no "races' but subspecies and then speaks of the "nordish race"? Here is the definition of subspecies
Members of one subspecies differ morphologically or by different DNA sequences from members of other subspecies of the species. Subspecies are defined in relation to species. It is not possible to understand the concept of a subspecies without first grasping what a species is. In the context of many large living organisms like trees, flowers, birds, fish and humans, a species can be defined as a distinct and recognisable group that satisfies two conditions: 1. Members of the group are reliably distinguishable from members of other groups. The distinction can be made in any of a wide number of ways, such as: differently shaped leaves, a different number of primary wing feathers, a particular ritual breeding behaviour, relative size of certain bones, different DNA sequences, and so on. There is no set minimum 'amount of difference': the only criterion is that the difference be reliably discernible. In practice, however, very small differences tend to be ignored. 2. The flow of genetic material between the group and other groups is small and sometimes can be expected to remain so because even if the two groups were to be placed together they would not interbreed to any great extent. 
I would say the #1 does not really apply to races. But I am 100% sure that #2 is NOT applicable. Black americans by that definition are NOT a different subspecies than white americans. The only way to make sure that races =subspecies by that denition is to ONLY use skin color. But from genetics or other traits it doesn't work.
