List of nouns representing a group of people

For a Kaggle competition I would like to decontextualise a list of questions. One way I am planning to do it is to replace any noun representing a group of people with a placeholder.
Examples of such nouns are:
women males Muslims democrats conservatives racists feminists veterans
vegans moguls Britons minorities Asians leaders
In this StackExchange I would like to find out where can I find a list of words that represent a group of people.
Proper nouns is not a big problem as the module I use (spaCy) can detect them as NORP (nationalities or religious or political groups) because of their capitalisation.
I hope we can get all the words that appear in a standard dictionary, especially those that end with -ist, -er and -an.

Welcome HK Tong... minor point, a request for a resource like this actually goes to the meta version of this board. I've asked for a close vote to trigger a move. You can also repost directly there to move things along.

Do you want to decontextualize? "Why do so many conservatives hate women?" is a rather different question from "Why do so many conservatives hate communists?"

Thanks jimm101, please do, as I am new here I do not think I have meta privileges. Dear eyeballfrog, the two questions you have cited will indeed deserve different labels, and it is an example that I didn't think of. Nevertheless I hope to try out a new approach to the problem.
