Reply to comment by TheDaoOfCute in TIFU by getting assigned a group project and getting sent memes by Keanu__Gaming__xD

Bro but I was sending memes too so I’m kind of worried about getting flagged or something

...were you also sending garbage-tier racist shit?

Racist? What? No but I sent some memes like Reddit memes stuff not about our professor. Just confused as to what’s racist, if anything wouldn’t it be misandrist since it’s falling out prof a sex offender because he’s a man?

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.

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

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.

I’ve already said I don’t think I was but tbh I’m worried now because of the nazi table analogy

I'm not sure how anyone could be unable to distinguish between something racist and something that's not.

Did you send something that negatively disparages a race or group of people? Then it's racist.

They did. This is them trying to create plausible deniability of “I’m not racist honest!!! I was just so naive and confused!!”

I didn’t realize that the meme he shared that his partner sent him was antisemetic. So it is possible (though not likely) to be unaware.

How can you possibly be so oblivious as to not recognise such an obviously anti-Semitic image?

Seriously, have you been living your whole life under a fucking rock?

Maybe I have. Or maybe I just don’t associate with racists and their jokes?

It’s a racist Jew caricature. You humored a Nazi and now the prof assumes you are too, and he’s not entirely wrong.

? Explain how I’m a Nazi. I understand now but I don’t condone this shit at all wtf

This guys over reacting a little bit. You didn’t even know the images meaning. I didn’t either lol

your partner is not a good person. the rest of the people in this thread are not good either for making you guilty by association especially an association you were forced into. Explain what happened. I don't want to say you will be fine because your prof has a decent chance of being as insane as the people in the thread, but if he is not this will all be sorted out with the truth.

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.

Good logic bro. Tbh I’d rather not be a Nazi so I will tell my prof I don’t condone this shit

TremorX t1_ixeiron wrote

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.

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.
