Fan Casting Black and Nerdy

Role added by jeremyelcuervo on February 27, 2023

Back to Top Make Suggestion
Description of Black and Nerdy:

The Black Nerd is a countertrope to common racial stereotypes. Most nerds are portrayed by races who already have the stereotype of being weak or bookish, such as whites, Asians, and Jews. Black people, on the other hand, are often portrayed as jive-talking Soul Brothas, Gangbangers, or Scary Black Men. The Black Nerd upsets these trends by being, well, a Black Nerd. This is especially common in comedies, where writers are often reluctant to feed into racial stereotypes, but need flaws to make their characters funny.
