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

This is the normal Croatian flag, nothing of concern here:

(Note that the chequers in the top left go Red-White-Red-White)

This is the Ustaše flag:

If you see that symbol in the top left or you see the shield with a chequered pattern that begins at the top left with White-Red, then you've got yourself a fascist.

It's important to know the difference because they aren't easy to distinguish between at first glance, especially if you don't know what you're looking for.
