b3ta isn't a parallel of society. It's more like a sub-culture, only a section of it
It's part of the much larger internet, which is far easier to compare to modern society, because of the multiple subcultures found within it.

We realise that, we accept that,
we're just asking why it is. It's not an accusation (I may have used some accusatory language earlier, which I won't edit for the sake of fairness), it's just pondering why this state of afairs exists.

I guess it's just human nature to group together with people similar to your self

this much is true.
but even the little corner of if little england in which i grew up, there were ethnic minorities all nearly all varieties. you get it even in the deepest darkest countryside nowadays.

i'm not suggesting that b3ta is a parallel of society - god help us all if it is - but it is, if you think about it, a peculiar statistic.

as moore said vvdown therevv somewhere, i too couldn't care less. it is just odd.
