I think that anyone who speculates and makes unsubstantiated claims about the dating market as a whole needs to show that their speculation and claims are representative of the dating market as a whole, or really representative of anything at all. My statement was broader than intended. Obviously OKCupid's data is not necessarily reflective of all dating sites or interracial dating patterns overall, but Ta-Nehisi Coates is only presenting a hypothesis and some speculative claims, not data, and his speculation shouldn't be treated as anything more until someone presents data that supports it.
