@akarlin88, Hispanics (and Jews) can be of any race, so you double-count lots of them in that table and the census groups sum up to 109%. The current non-Hispanic white share is 61%.

Hispanics are usually ~67% White in these surveys, ~30% Other.

Actually Asians dont appear to be extremely underrepresented, only somewhat.
-
They are if you factor in IQ.
-
With a plus 1SD cutoff for LW participation we expect 1.6 times overrepresentation as an expectation. So depending on what you understand as extreme underrepresentation they qualify or dont. The factor is about 2. Less than for women who are about nine times underrepresented.

I didn't write "extreme", you did. I wrote conspicuous. Compare with Asian representation in other high tech areas.

South Asians (Indians?) seem to be over-represented among intellectual non-conformists though (relative to census data).

I read Slate Star Codex, but I couldn't get the survey widget to work for me (my computer is old).
-
I feel like the particular items sampled here are likely to have overlapping participants not not capture non-conformists of other varieties. For example...

I've an Asian friend who practically led off our first conversation with "So what do you think about the threat of malevolent AI?" but hadn't heard of SSC.

I wouldn’t at all classify OWS, or “Effective Altruism” as non-conformist groups.

You misread the table. I didn't find any data for Jews at OWS, though yes, I do expect them to be strongly overrepresented there.
