During a lengthy profile written by Isaac Chotiner in The New Yorker, Rich Paul talked about how white players 

“It’s very difficult for me to represent a white player,” said Paul. 

“It just is. Look around. There’s very few,” he said. “I represent a player from Bosnia. But, again, he’s international. He looks at it different.”

“So white players who are American don’t want a Black agent?” Chotiner asked.

“They’ll never say that,” Paul answered while cracking a rare smile. “But they don’t. I think there’s always going to be that cloud over America.”

Owen Philips of The F5 collected data on agent representation of American born white players and found that Frank Kaminsky and Luke Kornet are the only ones out of 39 with Black agents. Thirty-seven (95 percent) of players are represented by white agents.
