Your link proves that he was at a state dinner. I guess that's proof he took the role?

The CNN article itself does not make that claim. Thus, if this official is racist, then every president who employed his services is racist, too, at least by the logic of mentioning that he was a former Obama administration official.

Anyway, this Huffpost article notes that

A now-deleted profile of Seldowitz on the company’s website stated he served as Acting Director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate in the early 2000s. A LinkedIn profile belonging to Seldowitz, which also appears to have been removed, said he was employed in that role from February 2009 to January 2011, according to CNN.

Seldowitz told the Times he had previously worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations, including holding a position at the State Department’s Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs.

I'm not trolling. You'd know that if you were intellectually honest enough to evaluate the claim or more discerning when it comes to the media.
