His motivation here is basically the same as all the sponsors pulling away from the clippers--simple concern for what people think.
"My racist friends wants you to stop associate with black people, so could you please do that?" No sign of bending backwards and promoting racism here. That's not counting him talking to his trophy mistress, that he wants to stay together with. You kind of want to tone down things at such a situation.

Does the media drag out the worst things? Yes. Still doesn't change what he's requesting.
