White racists have never had any qualms about using "inferior" blacks for labour or for their sexual gratification. For example - "By the nineteenth century, sex between black slaves and their white masters and mistresses had become common enough that it was a source of intense anxiety in American culture. Some whites worried that black women were seducing white men, or that black men would rape white women. In reality, most interracial sex occurred because the powerless social position of enslaved black women left them vulnerable to rape by white men. In certain parts of the South, this kind of sexual exploitation was institutionalized; slave auctions of "fancy girls"--the term used to describe especially attractive young slave women--allowed white men to purchase concubines. The mixed-race children resulting from these sexual relationships, called "mulattos," legally followed the condition of their mothers and were thus considered slaves. While white masters occasionally freed or gave special treatment to the children they fathered by slave women, most simply worked and sold their own children like other slaves".

One might as well claim that Big Ron isn't a racist because he has employed black players.
