But even if we consider only the lower estimate, 2 percent of the world population is still roughly 160 million people (in the 2020s), which is larger than the population of Russia.

In similar statistical comparisons: about 2 percent of the world population has red hair, about 2 percent has green eyes. No one is claiming red hair or green eyes don’t exist.
