If you want to disagree with President Kimball highlighting what he considered to be "risk factors", that's fine. What I object to is taking that statement as primarily racist or motivated in part by his own racism.

And what is the reason for the additional risk? Could it be that the pressures from a society struggling to overcome racism may have something to do with it?

Absolutely. I said that earlier. It's not that the interracial union is wrong in and of itself, it's that there are pressures put on that relationship by others who aren't accepting of it. I see nowhere where President Kimball is stating that interracial relationships are morally inappropriate.
