Not that I would voluntarily interact with them but back in my lolbert days, when I still believed in blank slate and "gave everyone a chance", I don't recall ever meeting a black woman with an actual hobby much less a technical or nerdy one.
The one I can think of was at least 80% White, and she was into a reading comic books, like real ones, before marvel movies came out.
I’ve seen a few black girls into manga and very few that are into nerdy stuff. Black nerdy guys is something you’ll see more often. When I started seeing comics and sci-fi companies really trying to cater to black women i remember thinking do you guys see who actually buys the product?
My best friends in middle school were the black nerds, but in high school only the truly outcast blacks that the other blacks hated would still do the nerdy hobbies like d&d and battletech. The others literally had one monoculture: sports, drugs, shoes, "beefing", showing off for white and asian girls by being anti-social. The only ones who were "civilized" were the obviously gay ones.
Yea in high school the few black nerds were usually accused of “acting white”. Black female nerds are very rare. Hispanic too but I’ve seen a few more of those. Now if you looked at who nerd hobbies cater to you’d think those two groups made up all the customer base
