Schrödinger's Turk usually refers to someone who uses a persona best suited for the situation but immediately change their whole persona when the situation doesn't go to plan.

UNLIKE ''Schrödinger's cat'' the phrase ''Schrödinger's Turk'' will only exclusively be used to describe a person only

This phrase was widely popularized on the internet to mock Turkish streamer Hassan Piker, who would switch between being ''Caucasian'' and being ''Arab'' to best suit the narrative at hand.
Hassan: ''I have faced much racism as an Arab in America.''
Hassan: ''Oh, i guess they don't like us, white boys.''

Viewer: Oh my god, here he goes again! That Schrödinger's Turk.
