It’s both, in combination. He’s being racist, and he has kids with an Indian woman. Leaving out that part would be a glaring omission to the story.
It’s very much like the stories of the Republicans who want to make abortion illegal, which is bad enough, but it’s monumentally worse when it turns out they’ve had or paid for abortions.
Yeah I think it’s because it kinda implies he doesn’t see his kids as being welcome to both of their ethnic heritages. And from what I’ve heard from half white friends it’s an awkward thing they often experience. Like I had a friend growing up who everyone was willing to acknowledge that he’s Filipino, but nobody was willing to acknowledge that he was equally hillbilly.
Once again, one is definitely worse than the other. The headline makes it sound like this hinges on his having biracial kids. That’s not the right message
I think you’re the only one taking it as “hinging on.” Most people are taking it as “Person is against X but also chose X” (where X itself is a bad thing). Headline makes it clear he’s both a racist and a hypocrite. Both are important to know.
It’s not a matter of being “right” or “wrong.” If a headline causes ambiguity or people to question the thrust then it needs to be improved. It’s not a yes/no situation. It’s an iterative process. You’re the one trying to make this a binary.

If the thought occurred to me then I’m probably not the only person who thought, which means it’s a valid critique of the headline.
That’s an impressive way of sticking to your guns when everyone is disagreeing with you. “If I thought it then others did, so I’m not wrong.”
