JW.org (Bible Questions Answered), “What Does the Bible Say About Interracial Marriage?”
“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.
