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

Crow-at, or you can call them Hrvatska or Hervatskan, since that’s their endonym…

Damn, so scroat doesn’t really work. Highly unfortunate. Granted, altering the term for an ethnicity in order to make it offensive probably hasn’t been a good thing historically.
