Slav
Pole or Czech
A Slav is a member of any of the peoples of central and eastern Europe who speak Slavic languages—including Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs, Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians, and others.
The term encompasses a linguistic and ethnic family rather than a single nationality.
Nazi ideology notoriously classified Slavs as subhuman, targeting them for enslavement and extermination. (Lowercase slav refers to a squatting posture in internet slang.)
