Quotentürke 🇹🇷

Token Turk

Moin zusammen!

Today’s topic is something you might come across at some point: the word „Quotentürke“. It’s often used half-jokingly, but depending on the situation, it can carry a bit more weight. There’s even a song about it, check it out here:

EKO FRESH - QUOTENTÜRKE

Literally, the word combines Quote (quota) and Türke (Turk), and describes someone with Turkish heritage who is included in a group to fulfill a diversity expectation. Often as “the Turkish person” in a team or company.

I turned this into a dialogue because, being partly non-German myself, I’ve started noticing how often these kinds of dynamics come up in everyday conversations.

Can you relate to that too? I’d be curious to hear your thoughts in the comments!
