Are Croats Self-Hating Slavs? Why aren't Croats more proud of being Slavic?

Why do they always cater to the Germans? You would never see Poles doing this.

Yes. Inb4 Solin.

because a lot of Croatians worked as migrant workers in Germany, where they earned pensions and money to make a house. While with the Poles long centuries we have nothing to do with them.

Every Croat who is/was a member that I know of acknowledged they are Slavs and not one that I know of over the Internet is a self hater of any kind due to being a Slav.

However IRL nobody cares about being a Slav, especially being proud of being Slavic (or Germanic, or Celtic, or Baltic or what not else).

BTW cater in what sense?

They always worked for Germany/Austria, even with the ustashe, etc.

"The Ustase accepted that Croats were part of the Dinaric race,[42] but rejected the concept that Croats were primarily a Slavic people and claimed that Croats were primarily the descendents of the stronger Germanic roots with the Goths than Slavic roots.[43]

They are Catholics. The Croatians adjacent with only Catholic Slav folk: the Slovenes. The rest of their Catholic neighbours are Hungarians, Germans and Italians. Very weak the Croatians' contact with the other Catholic Slavs and the orthodoxes are their deadly enemies, so this is the Slavonic world for the Croatians (the Catholic and Protestant Slavs):

The German nations are the big and rich neighbour and the cultural ideal and ally for them.

So what do Croats think when they see the situation between Germans and Catholic Poles?

I dont know. But the Polish situation is not analogous with the Croatian. The Polishs is a big nation with big ambitions.

You had three sides at that time, Ustashe, Tito's Partisans and those who didn't like Ustashe or Partisans. So it is kind of unfair to generalize the entire nation because of what Ustashe said and I doubt all of them rejected they were primarily a Slavic people.
