Also is referring to them as croats insensitive? It feels like a slur tbh. If it isn't a slur can I call them scroats? Some croation on tiktok was valuing whiteness a lil too much so I made fun of them and wanted to make sure I wasn't being unintentionally shitty since I know little about this region

Edit: is croat pronounced krote or crow-at

"Croat" is not a slur, just what people from Croatia are called.

Gotcha, I figured but wanted to be sure. It really feels like a slur to me idk why 😭

I only poked at their country's past because they insinuated that Turkey was lesser in some way due to the generally higher melanin content and it was clear from their username that they had some nationalist sentiments
