If it's not about race, it will be something else. He should select the person who is best able to both represent the ticket and step in as president should it become necessary. I don't know who that is so I don't have a strong opinion - but I don't think a PoC should be rejected just because Trump will throw racist shit at her. He'll figure out a way to trash any of the other women for other reasons.
