Actually webpack has the url-loader which allows embedding binary data as base64 data URLs in your CSS bundle. If used judiciously it can even be a good thing too. EDIT: I mentioned webpack since the thread is about react, but you can do the same thing manually by putting the base64-encoded data in a data URL on a CSS file.
