The change was made in 1840 by Joseph Smith, in an explanitary note Joseph Smith explained that some minor errors were corrected. This change was not maintained in the 1879 and 1920 editions but was restored in the 1981 edition. But if anyone has the right to clarify or correct the text of the Book of Mormon then I'm going to say Joseph does. Anyone aquainted with revelation will know that intelligence can be translated into english in different ways and sometimes it is a struggle to use an imperfect language to express the revelation. Secondly I don't believe that Joseph would have been concerned with possible racist interpretations in 1840. I just don't think people would have been offended or bothered by the use of "white". I think the only reason he would have changed it was because he felt it was a more accurate translation of what was revealed to him.
