Ukrop is to Ukrainian person as an n-word is to African-American.

Then why is it the name of a Ukrainian political party?

From wiki “The name “ukrop” was initially a derogatory Russian slang term used to refer to Ukrainians; however, in this case some Ukrainians reclaimed the term ukrop to refer to themselves”

Kinda how blacks use the n-word amongst themselves it looks.

Good question, and its not just a political organization. Since 2014 its also been a commonly used insignia among Ukraine's paramilitary fighters in Eastern Ukraine...like the ones fighting in Mariupol.

Its sad and a bit embarrassing to see how mis or under informed people on this forum really are and how quickly they grab for the 'politically correct' interpretation of things they don't understand or disagree with.
