It's the lack of balance that makes them easy targets. Believe it or not anybody who isn't well-rounded is stereotyped negatively. Dumb jocks, weedheads, rachet hoes, weird ass nerds, thugs. They myopic.
Nerds like those other groups, have some glaring social issues and an acute inability to recognize and reflect on these social problems. EVERYBODY ELSE and I mean EVERYBODY ELSE is to blame for their loneliness. It's the blk community or all blk (men/women) didn't want them or chicken fukking little, the sky is falling, or gotta go cross the 7 seas to find somebody who will appreciate me.
But it's never them! Ever! They come up with some of the weirdest social theories for why they can't connect with others. Weird ass lame-o algorithms for why the top 10% don't wanna invest in them, even tho they are never ANYWHERE ANYWAY. And if u even try to hint at it you are met with the most bitter, nastiest vitriolic responses in the universe that tells you EXACTLY why people don't chill with em. Just inappropriately strange responses to daily normal routine social shyt. Right now somebody is stewing behind a computer screen, contemplating calling me a fat blk bytch just for exposing this shyt.

All the while not thinking about how strange it is to be that emotionally invested in what I'm saying unless...OMG I'm talking about u! Duh!
So they live in their heads, blame others and cultivate narcisstic tendencies like pseudo-autistic characteristics "Yeah I'm a savant!" Or "people are boring...they don't have hobbies". "Or even yeah I'm a nerd." They always self-diagnosing themselves with stupid shyt to feel special. "Total sociopath here!" Like that's a good thing?!
But the irony is most of these people aren't actual nerds in the classic sense. Classic nerds were good in school. Hold degrees and work as engineers. And believe it or not, I don't know of any unsuccessful nerds with relationship issues.
What u are talking about are bottom-dwellers who adopted the nerd title to cover up crippling social issues that could easily be solved by interacting with the world outside of their insular hobbies. They feel like they betraying some weird ass nerd code if they like Gym Hero Academia AND hold a successful job. Or if they play Call of Duty AND not feel isolated from the opposite sex.
And u can't even blame their romantic failures on their looks b/c most aren't even physically ugly. But they are unattractive and make people feel uncomfortable. They don't realize that EVERYBODY IS fukked up in some way so they live in their heads and shun most society. When they move past the "I am special" phase and embrace others, they usually not bad to chill with. But a geek with a chip on their shoulder can be just as nasty as any rachet chick or thug.
"Fukk u bytch!" "Why you always gotta..."

Now watch somebody rush in here to get asshurt by what im saying even tho I'm talking about men AND women.
Chess.
