The currently largest incel forum [[incels.co]] conducted two surveys so far of its userbase. 59.5% of users were between 18-25 years old and few are younger. 22.5% have had sex. 56.1% were White/Caucasian.<ref name="ref76">https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Incel_forums_are_disproportionately_populated_by_suicidal.2C_disabled.2C_autistic.2C_and_ethnic_men</ref>

Male incels are often stereotyped as "angry white males", however large polls on [[incels.co]] and [[Braincels]] showed that only around 52% of its U.S. members are/were White.<ref name="sbdemo">https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Incel_forums_are_disproportionately_populated_by_suicidal.2C_disabled.2C_autistic.2C_and_ethnic_men</ref><ref>https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-daily-telegraph-telegraph-magazine/20180818/282213716666395</ref> Overall, Reddit's U.S. userbase is around 71% White<ref name="sbdemo"></ref> which suggests Whites are underrepresented in incel forums.<ref name="sbdemo"></ref> A peer-reviewed study came to the same conclusion.<ref>http://www.organisms.be/downloads/incels.pdf</ref>
Asian Americans seem to be the most affected by inceldom<ref name="sbdemo"></ref> which agrees with findings that among U.S. college students where "being an Asian male" was the best predictor of never having kissed among various demographic variables (see table),<ref name="kissed">https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Being_an_Asian_male_in_the_USA_is_a_primary_predictor_of_.27never_being_kissed.27</ref> and East-Asian men being perceived as less masculine.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Black_men_and_women_appear_.27more_masculine.27_than_whites.3B_Asian_men_appear_.27less_masculine.27</ref>
There is no evidence of Blacks or Hispanics/Latinos having higher incel rates compared to Whites (differences in the table are non-significant).
One should keep in mind that among college students, incel rates are higher and East Asians also have a slower [[life history|life history speed]].<ref>http://philipperushton.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Race-Evolution-and-Behavior-ocr.pdf</ref>
Particularly in case of young, solitary, male immigrants incel rates are presumably high due to the lack of communal integration, which seems to be important of relationship formation.
 
As one can see in the table below, U.S. Whites are somewhat underrepresented on Braincels compared to U.S. Adults on Reddit overall, which has a 95% CI difference of 13-24 per cent points (P < 0.0001).
The "other" races make up 8.8% of Reddit overall, but 33% on Braincels, which has a 95% CI difference of 13-24 per cent points (P < 0.0001).
The most overrepresented races seem to be East-Asians and South-Asians, making up around 6% of the U.S. population, but around 19% on Braincels and around 13% on incels.co. This agrees with findings above about kissless Asians. There is no evidence of Blacks or Latinos/Hispanics being overrepresented.
Note: Braincels is nearly exclusively male different from the Pew Research samples, which may limit the accuracy of these estimates a bit.
 
Little is known about the racial demographics of female incels ([[femcel]]s).
