Hard disagree. Particularly with "... makes any assumptions by your professor warranted."

A Professor of all people should know that assumptions are not warranted in this context, or most, really. Presumably, he does, as he asked to speak with OP.

I get what you're saying, guilty by association. I've always viewed the 11 nazi saying as more of -- the 10 people aren't necessarily Nazis, but might as well be if everybody they know thinks they are.

Pretty much agree with your post beyond calling an assumption warranted. That is bad.

There ya go. The point of that analogy isn’t to label everyone a nazi, it’s to make you realize that humoring them even a little keeps their ideology alive. The Nazi ain’t the problem, it’s that his ideology was allowed to spread, and to him there’s little difference between quiet objection and quiet acceptance.

There’s a saying; if there’s a Nazi at a table talking to 10 other people, you’ve got 11 Nazis.

I’m not saying you are, but the association and fact that nobody squashed this shit from the start makes any assumptions by your professor warranted.

We get you were in the crossfire here, but I’m just saying this is probably how your professor is going to approach things.

Since I have your attention, could you answer my previous question about whether or not you're sending shit-tier racist memes? It's clear that the professor has a problem with what you had on your screen and you can easily clear your name by showing him that your groupmate sent it, but if you were also meme'ing similar shit then you might have dug your own grave.

Thanks for the write up dao. Tbh I didn’t realize that image had those meanings that’s fucking crazy no I’m not anti Jewish like Kanye or something I was just sending memes from Reddit like you said so hopefully I’m probably done but I’m worried about my group mate and his mental to think that shut is ok in 2022

That "greedy jew" meme your groupmate sent to you is not cool in the slightest. It's racist/antisemetic and if you also sent him any memes on that level then you might be fucked.

With that said, if you were just casually sending funny shit then you have nothing to worry about. Again, just show the professor your DMs and as long as you weren't being a shitty human being you should be fine.
