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>
Male incels are often stereotyped as "angry White males", however large polls on [[incels.co]] and [[Braincels]] showed that only around half of incels in these forums 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>
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>
A peer-reviewed study also came to the conclusion that Whites are underrepresented.<ref>http://www.organisms.be/downloads/incels.pdf</ref>
There is no evidence of Blacks or Hispanics/Latinos having higher incel rates compared to Whites (differences in the table are non-significant).
Data from Pew Research in Table 1 suggests that among U.S. Americans, Whites make up 71.1% of Reddit's userbase, but only 52.4% of Braincels' members, a difference with a 95% CI of 13-24% points (95% CI, P < 0.0001).
There is no evidence of Blacks being overrepresented (all differences are non-significant).
Hispanics are underrepresented by 4-11 points (p < 0.0001), in line with their fertility being 20% higher than Whites.<ref>https://www.statista.com/statistics/226292/us-fertility-rates-by-race-and-ethnicity/</ref>
The "other" races make up 8.8% of Reddit overall, but 33% on Braincels.
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 among U.S. college students where "being an Asian male" was the best predictor of never having kissed (see Table 2),<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 and least preferred by women in online dating.<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>
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.
Moreover, Braincels is nearly exclusively male different from the Pew Research samples, which may limit the accuracy of these estimates a bit.
 
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.
Hispanics are underrepresented by 4-11 points (p < 0.0001), in line with their fertility being 20% higher than Whites.<ref>https://www.statista.com/statistics/226292/us-fertility-rates-by-race-and-ethnicity/</ref>
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).
