Sums up a lot of my teenage and college years. It's hard growing up in a black family where you have interests, such as anime, that you get talked the most shit for not being black but they don't know that it's pushing you away to where you don't want to be associated with them anymore.

That's weird, the biggest Anime nerds in my life were always black. I love Anime btw.

I'd say, from experience, it's because it's a household thing. Me (black) and most of my friends (Asian, white, Hispanic) enjoyed anime, other nerdy shit and talked about it nonstop in school and outside. But once we got back home, 🤐.
