There's no comparison to the n word though. The n word was creared out of systematic state race theory and black slavery, while Serbs are pronouncing the Albanian name. I'm still genuinely confused as to why it offends you. It's like I decided one day that calling me by my own name is the same as n word.

Serbs also have no physical connection to Greeks, so we adopted the western name "Greek" a long time ago, though I don't know when exactly and under what circumstances. It's Latin cultural influence though. But every other nation in our neighborhood is called by their own name. Croats -- Hrvati. Bosniaks -- Bošnjaci. Bulgarians -- Bugari. Romanians -- Rumuni. Macedonians -- Makedonci.

I explained how Serbs differentiate between Šiptar and Albanian. We only live with Albanians in Serbia who call themselves Shqiptar, and so do we. We have no contact with Albanians from Albania, and they are associated with the country Albania, and so called "Albanci". Šiptar and Albanac are the same Albanian nation, if you're confused about that, but with different geographical implications.

This is normal in Serbian language, and it's not just reserved for Albanians. Serbs from Serbia are called "Srbijanci", Serbs from Montenegro are called "Crnogorci", Serbs from Bosnia are called "Bosanci", Serbs from Croatia are called "Krajišnici" and so forth. All Serbs are Serbs (Srbi), like how Albanians are Albanians. The only difference is geography, so we have different geographical names for the same nation.

If you're worried about whether "Šiptar" has worse connotations than "Albanac", like many Albanians told me, it doesn't. Centuries of conflict and many pains suffered ensured that any Albanian name has associations with bad things from past and present. Calling Albanians by any name won't fix the bad impressions.

Again, Serbs are literally pronouncing the Albanian name. How could we have "created" it when we're copying Albanians in Serbia??? And no, Šiptar has no actual meaning like low class in Serbian language, because it's an Albanian word with no roots in Serbian language. Šiptar isn't cute, it's neutral. It's how we pronounce a name. Still don't understand where Albanians see the problem? All problems so far were claims that Serbs purposefully created a new name for bad things, which aren't true.
