What is your process for determining which groups are in the majority? Are you using global population statistics? Or, as it's a US-based site, are we using US census data? Will this be updated as demographics change?

Oh the definition of the majority is quite simple.

Race: white

Gender: cis male

Orientation: straight

Sex: male

So the definition depends on the topic at hand, but there's only one definition per category.

Except, men are not the majority in the USA, which is important because Reddit specifies "in the majority".

And if they don't mean just in the USA, than white s definitely not "in the majority".

I have a feeling this change will either A) be amended within a week, B) bring in some lawsuits, bad/or C) be a reason Trump pushes through with affecting Section 230.
