I think it's true that most graphic designers are nerds. Or at least the talented ones.
How can we correct this?

I think at first they we considered as such, because it was a computer job. Now that most jobs require a computer, I think they're not seen as nerds so much.

actually I think that designers are obsessive by nature, call em nerds or geeks or hipsters, doesn't matter. Just insular people who get into stuff quite heavily and struggle with women. On the bright side, designers generally get to assume a higher aesthetic standpoint, allowing us all to look down on the great unwashed.

I challenge you to 1v1 match of the FPS of your choice. This should be sufficient in determining who is the übernerd.

I've always thought that anyone who's in a profession of ANY kind who wants to be great at what they do... IS a big old nerd. Even 'cool' people are only 'cool' 'cos they spend ALL their fucking time nerding-up on HOW to be 'cool'.

encyclopedic knowledge of typefaces = nerd

Most designers can't even solve quadratic equations. I think a nerd is the one who loves and seeks all types of knowledge. Arts, literature, electronics, math, physics, chemistry, biology...
I see designers as people trying to LOOK LIKE someone interested in all types of knowledge.
