I generally agree with your assessment. But I think there may be more East and South Asians than you think, more 36-80s and more 15-19s too. I have no reason to think we are underrepresented in gays or in deaf people.
My general impression is that women are not made welcome here—the level of overt sexism is incredibly high for a community that tends to frown on chest-beating. But perhaps the women should speak for themselves on that subject. Or not. Discussions on this subject tend to be uncomfortable, Sometimes it seems that the only good they do is to flush some of the more egregious sexists out of the closet.
OMG! A whole top-level-posting. And not much more than a year ago. I didn’t know. Well, that shows that you guys (and gals) have said all that could possibly need to be said regarding that subject. ;)
It does have about 100 pages of comments. Consider also the “links to followup posts” in line 4 of that article. It all seemed to go on forever—but maybe that was just me.

We have already had quite a lot of that.
