Vivek’s fundamental error is that internet culture really loves the Chad archetype and views self identified nerds as resentful Redditor virgins. Back in 2014 that wasn’t the case and ‘Chad’ was a disparaging epithet, like Karen is now(though that term is being rehabilitated too.) So his cardinal sin here is being terminally online but way behind the curve, ripe for the pouncing.

I saw a lot of responses like this as to why it 'touched a nerve':

Vivek came through and said,”You white folks don’t raise your kids the right way like Asians do.” 😂😂😂

vivek talked to white people the way white people talk to black people and they fucking DID NOT LIKE IT lmaooo

Yeah, but that's the point. He wasn't just saying 'those minorities with bad culture' he was looping in the MAGA majority implicitly

only if you perceive ‘jocks’ as exclusively white folks which in most schools isn’t the case at all.
