Look, I know it sucked in school, being ostracized for having technical interests, but now you're grown-up and loaded. As part of a larger social agenda, I can see some harm in perpetuating these geek stereotypes, but on a personal level, you are not being exploited, so quit whining.

That is the meaning is the opposite to your interpretation. I agree the initial comment might have sounded ambiguously. Your comment could be less patronizing.
