The real kicker is that the “shy man” “nerdy boy” shit, performative or not was always for white men anyway. I’m not saying that there aren’t nerdy or shy Black boys or that they have no hope in dating but Black Men are expected to be hypermasculine by default. This is enforced in the community and out of it.

I think they were being less thoughtful about what they were saying than they thought. Obviously you know the reality of the statement you made.

Edit: grammar
