Merge[edit source]
Should this article be merged with Black incelosphere? If so, in which direction (i.e. keep this page or the other)? --unsigned comment by User:Thebreeze
There's problems with this page. Blacks who even do online dating are in the minority (and are therefore nonrepresentive), and inceldom in general is less common among black men than it is among other races, even white men. -- Previously unsigned comment by 2601:248:5181:4250:5c3d:88fa:dfd9:60bc
>Blacks who even do online dating are in the minority
False, according to a recent report by Pew Research self-identified 'blacks' in the US are actually slightly more likely than whites to report using online dating apps. (https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2020/02/06/the-virtues-and-downsides-of-online-dating/pi_2020-02-06_online-dating_0-2/) There is no evidence of sampling bias in this survey, it seems like quite a representative survey, so your claim is false that 'blacks who do online dating are in the minority' (compared to other races, that is, which is what you heavily implied) is false.
>inceldom in general is less common among black men than it is among other races, even white men
More recent data than the studies you're likely referring to demonstrates that black men are roughly as likely to be sexless (https://incels.wiki/w/File:No_sex_in_past_year_by_sex_and_ethnicity.png) as white men (overlapping confidence intervals, if there are less sexually inactive black men than whites the difference is quite small, nothing to write home about). This graph is specifically indicating the number of 'sexless' black men, relationship data may be less informative here due to possible ethnic/demographic differences in life history speed (put simply, black relationships tend to be more unstable). The dating site data referenced in the article shows that blacks have a lower SMV than most other races on those particular sites, SMV obviously doesn't correlate perfectly with lifetime sexual partner count (there are too many other factors involved here to even list), but it's data that is highly relevant to an article focused exclusively on incels of that particular ethnic group/race.Altmark22 (talk) 17:48, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
