These "Schrodinger's (blank)" are kind of irritating. The other common one is "Schrodinger's immigrant".

Plainly put, it's fallacious and presumes a group to be such a monolith that they might as well be a single person.

This thinking appears to go hand-in-hand with "science!" worshipping idiots, where they see a scientific term being used to describe something and immediately agree with it without assessing the accuracy of the information, the logic, etc. All it took was three very basic sentences for the other posters to debunk this stupid "inconsistency" because it is so fallacious on such a fundamental level.

I have managed to solve that one - in that both serve as negatives to societies among a few other obstacles.

There is another one titled "Schrodinger's Jew", where detractors of believe that Jews are "untermensch" while being all-powerful and superior at the same time. I don't really think, however, that it seems to be accurate.

With your conclusion, I would wish that there would be a way out of such fallacies as this one.

Show me one specific example of this please.

It's a meme that goes around anti-fascist/Zionist circles. The former idea of "untermensch" seems to derive from NS Germany, but it seems to be a strawman for modern critics of Jews. Besides any signs of weakness or genetic problems I haven't seen concrete evidence for this being a common claim. The latter idea is something that is more realistic, given the claims of overrepresentation.

Indeed it's silly and the NS attitude towards Jews wasn't that they were sub-human it was that they were a dangerous, cunning and powerful foe.
