I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be "because racists are stupid and don't read" (which is a perfectly fine answer), but how do the nazi types justify or rationalize the sheer amount of "interbreeding" and "race mixing" between the Aesir and the Jotuns?

I could see it if, like, it was just an "evil" Áss like Loki who was part Jotun, but Odin's grandmother was one as well, and Thor, as a result, is mostly Jotun... And these aren't, like, minor references in some obscure work of dubious precedent no one has translated. The poetic edda is pretty blatant about it, and the prose edda has them all being Trojan?

I mean, pretty obviously racism is dumb and makes very little sense, but what knots do they tie themselves in to explain how, no, seriously, Thor definitely hates Jewish people?
