Yeah, that was high on my list of anecdotal evidence :)

Well you can start by just looking at the pictures
taken at Wikimania
over the years. That pretty much shows our editor demographics as well
as Wikimania attendees

At the recent gendergap strategy retreat the
issue of racial
demographics was briefly brought up but no one had any numbers on it, so
we didn't know if it was an actual issue or not. Anecdotal evidence
suggests there is also a "racial gap" among editors, but it would be
nice to have some numbers on this to facilitate discussion. I did some
digging and the only statistics I could find were about the racial
demographics of American readers
(

).
It seems that none of our editor surveys have
asked about race, although
we've asked almost every other demographic question imaginable.
Does anyone know of any research or statistics related to the racial
demographics of Wikipedia editors?
If not, should we consider doing a micro-survey as was done for gender
recently? (
