Please don't make up quotes to attribute to other people, especially when it's not at all clear --- because you'd have to go read through a whole Twitter thread to find out --- that you invented the quote.
It's not only not clear, it's deliberately deceptive. 'StavrosK would have you believe Jeong is poking fun at nerds in general, and making comments about their personal hygiene.
My impression was she was making a statement about some nerds, yes, but people may interpret it as entailing a general slur.
Was it also deliberately deceptive to interpret Trump's famous statement about Mexicans as a slur on the whole group? I don't think so.
I observe people of all sorts making ambiguous statements deliberately in order to express bigoted opinions while not engaging with those who may be offended.
None of this implies I think defending "nerds" as a class is important - but I don't think being offended is necessarily "deliberately deceptive".
