The most overrepresented races seem to be East-Asians and South-Asians, making up around 6% of the U.S. population, but around 20% on Braincels and around 13% on incels.co.

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> | 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> | ||
Moreover, Braincels is nearly exclusively male different from the Pew Research samples, which may limit the accuracy of these estimates a bit. | Moreover, Braincels is nearly exclusively male different from the Pew Research samples, which may limit the accuracy of these estimates a bit. | ||
