Nerds: the newest anti white bigotry

One sometimes wonders where people live when they think they can get away with articles like this one, who define nerds according to their own PC fantasy world.

Example one:
In a 2001 paper, “The Whiteness of Nerds: Superstandard English and Racial Markedness,” and other works, including a book in progress, Bucholtz notes that the “hegemonic” “cool white” kids use a limited amount of African-American vernacular English; they may say “blood” in lieu of “friend,” or drop the “g” in “playing.” But the nerds she has interviewed, mostly white kids, punctiliously adhere to Standard English. They often favor Greco-Latinate words over Germanic ones (“it’s my observation” instead of “I think”), a preference that lends an air of scientific detachment. They’re aware they speak distinctively, and they use language as a badge of membership in their cliques.

But somehow she didn't manage to wonder if the reason they use "I observe" is that just maybe they based their opinion on observations instead of parroting the opinions of those around them and saying "I think".

And it gets worse;
By cultivating an identity perceived as white to the point of excess, nerds deny themselves the aura of normality that is usually one of the perks of being white. Bucholtz sees something to admire here. In declining to appropriate African-American youth culture, thereby “refusing to exercise the racial privilege upon which white youth cultures are founded,” she writes, nerds may even be viewed as “traitors to whiteness.”

My main question is where did she do her study? after all, the percentage of Asian nerds is quite high, and white students are a minority. And are there no nerds whose parents immigrated from China, Japan, Korea, India, Bengeladesh, or even the Philippines?

Apparently, college professors fail to exercize their intelligence in noticing such things.
