Whether the assumption is correct or not is immaterial to the point I am making.

That doesn't go against what I'm saying. Re-read my comment.
You're defeating your own argument. Assumption doesn't mean it's the rule or it's true. There's no census on 4chan and there's no reason to assume that the assumption is correct.
I could argue against your views by citing the 4chan conventions which had quite a number of women and minorities. Obviously the largest group was 18-25 white males but this was by no means a significant majority.
I can also cite my own experiences in 4chan IRC channels where a lot of our members were located outside of Europe and America.
Or how about doing a census on /cgl/? It's well known among experienced users that the vast majority of users there are women.
You're not stating a fact.
