As you can see from Britni's tweet, folks weren't happy with it. Instead of just speaking about "The Bachelorette," the publication tried to make a larger commentary and it just didn't go over well, not only because of the implications of the headline but also the fact that people said the information was outdated.Dear @Newsweek, 2011 called and it wants its headline back. We ain't using Black women's dating habits for pageviews in 2017, fam. pic.twitter.com/bcJdHOLaP6

Not sure which was worse in that @Newsweek interracial dating editorial. The headline or the outdated data provided in the article.

This woman at Newsweek had the nerve to pull statistics from 2010 when the Atlantic just ran a great article on BW and marriage 2 weeks ago

@Newsweek Your claim is false. She doesn't "prove" anything statistically simply because her personal choice is hypervisible via television.

@BritniDWrites @Newsweek As far as I know (don't have the stat so I may be wrong) most people don't date out of their ethnic and/or religious group #TheBachelorette

Some people are nostalgic for the 1950s. Newsweek (and Yahoo!) seem to have managed to go back to living there. https://t.co/4RJbP4LuvH

Newsweek has removed a story posted on May 23 about the Bachelorette. We apologize for any offense it caused.
