That's because White and Nerdy isn't a standalone song (if it was, it would be rubbish). It only has value as referential humour and self deprecating parody. So by being literal, it's using juxtaposition to emphasise the humour: It's funny when the nerd is pointing at the old JS logo and star trek's klingon icon because one would typically expect there to be something related to black culture, as in the start of the music video.
If it wasn't a parody of an existing song, and the popular genre, it would be complete garbage. Nothing about the song would work.
- IanCal 2mo agoI think you're mixing up the lyrics and the video. > It's funny when the nerd is pointing at the old JS logo and star trek's klingon icon The lyrics are funny. The video is almost entirely converting each near standalone statement into a very direct scene. "I'm fluent in javascript as well as klingon" is the funny line about his nerdiness, and the video is literally just him pointing to those logos. Key and Peele locking the car doors is one of the few things that happens that's in the video and not explicitly said in the lyrics.
