If they were going to use race as a qualifier they would choose black because most of the players are black and that's who the HC needs to communicate with.

Did a quick Google search and found this but it looks like there is more out there similar to that. It's also been my experience in my own career.
And let me be clear, I certainly don't think the owners are consciously not hiring people because they are black (well maybe there are some actual racist asshole owners, but I'm sure they aren't the majority at all).
