-A small informal poll on Reddit's [[/r/braincels]] suggested 28% of incel users are Caucasians (N = 75) though the result was distrusted due to a suspiciously high amount of Asians/Indians (as it is a common meme that [[currycel]]s have the lowest [[SMV]] which is probably not true). A larger poll on [[/r/braincels]] from 2018 (N = 1267) suggested 54.8% are Caucasians. A poll from 2019 by the incel forum [[incels.co]] indicated 57.4% (N = 400), and in a second one in 2019 it was 56.1% (N = 550). Taken together, one gets 55.6% (N = 2217).

Taken together, one gets 55.6% (N = 2217), so very close to /r/braincels.
-For comparison, Reddit's overall userbase is  80% white.{{citation needed}} Thus, we can approximate that the typical Reddit population is 1.4 times more white than incel groups. Given the sections on race above, this should not be surprising.

+As one can see, U.S. Whites are somewhat underrepresented on Braincels, with a 95% CI of 13%-24% less (P < 0.0001). It seems that especially East-Asians and Indians are over-represented.
 Other characteristics of [[incels.co]] users from site surveys include:
 * 78% report constantly suffering from depression, anxiety, and stress.
 * 82% have considered suicide.
