La postura que la organización publica actualmente es que ninguna raza es superior a otra, que el racismo está mal y que el matrimonio interracial cuenta con la aprobación de Dios; su literatura se produce para una membresía de unos 9,2 millones de personas que adoran en 241 países, y su propio sitio web describe a los Testigos como personas procedentes "from many ethnic and cultural backgrounds".

“Acts 10:34, 35 states: “God is not partial, but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” For this reason, nobody can rightly consider one race to be superior to another. … Jesus set the standard for Christians when he said to his disciples: “All of you are brothers.” (Matthew 23:8) He prayed that his followers be united and be “perfected into one,” not divided or segregated.”
A two-page article answering three questions: the origin of the races, whether any race is superior, and whether racism will end. It cites the UNESCO Declaration on Race and Racial Prejudice of 1978 and teaches that all humans descend from Adam and Eve and from Noah's sons.

“The Bible reveals that all humans are related and that God accepts people of every race. … Equality will be realized by God's Kingdom, a heavenly government. That government will teach people how to treat others in the right way. People will learn how to overcome any feelings of racism they may have.”
A current article in the "More Topics" series on jw.org. It opens by quoting the UN Secretary-General on racism as a driver of persistent inequality, cites Acts 17:26 and Acts 10:34, 35, and presents God's Kingdom rather than social reform as the remedy.

“God approves of marriage between a man and a woman of different races because all races are equal in his sight. … While interracial marriage is perfectly acceptable to God, not all people share his view. If you are considering marrying someone of another race, you and your prospective mate should discuss the following: How will you deal with the pressures you might face from your community or family? How will you help your children to deal with prejudice?”
The current official answer on jw.org. The cautions about community pressure and about children facing prejudice are the same two practical points raised in 1960 and 1973, but the article no longer mentions the effect on the preaching work or any duty to obey laws forbidding such marriages.
