Quite hostile. You know, it is standard procedure to use only quotation marks to refer to a term someone else has used you disagree with. Not bringing out a word the other hasn't used. Using the word 'Fortunately' also seems a bit biased. And I don't question that Magyars formed a large portion of the Slovak population. Looking at any map of the areas seized from the Slovaks in the Vienna Accords points to that. And so what if Serbs were Ottoman era migrants in a period before Magyars came into the area in great numbers? And I am also aware of the system with Croats in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but I thought it appropriate to bring it up the largest subgroup. I also don't thnik the Hungarians had any choice. The Croats were the historical border guards of the empire with their own kingdoms. Getting personal union was the best the Hungarians could hope for unless they wanted to try defeating some of the Empires crack troops.
Yes, You have right. Sometimes the sad facts and realities are "hostile" towards many national fairly tales.
"'Fortunately' also seems a bit biased. " As a Hungarian why should I be happy, when the Habsburgs (exactly Francis Joseph) unconstituonally make a putsch a Coup d'état against the existing legal and political orders, to erase entirely Kingdom of Hungary from the political map of Europe, and introduce his so-called backward neo-absolutism? This unlawful behavior of Francis Joseph against Hungary was condemned by all contemporary democratic countries (USA UK and France).
"And so what if Serbs were Ottoman era migrants in a period before Magyars came into the area in great numbers?"
Serbian population was expanded with Ottoman era conquest genocides in former Kingdom of Hungary, and they were active part in the Ottoman expansion and enormous genocides against Hungarians.
The vast majority of the seventeen and nineteen thousands Ottoman soldiers in service in the Ottoman fortresses in the territory of Hungary were Orthodox and Muslim Balkan Slavs instead of ethnic Turkish people.[17] Southern Slavs were also acting as akinjis and other light troops intended for pillaging in the territory of present-day Hungary. (See: nalcik Halil: "The Ottoman Empire") Serbian refugees formed ethnic majority in large parts of the Ottoman-controlled Hungary. That area included territories located between great rivers Sava, Drava, and the Danube–Tisza Interfluve (the territory between the Danube and Tisza rivers) (see: Carl Skutsch (2013). Encyclopedia of the World's Minorities. New York City: Routledge) Yes, I am happy to sent most of them back to the Balkans, and we don't need to speak Serbian in Budapest. Do you know what is the Danube–Tisza Interfluve ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube–Tisza_Interfluve Just see the cities.
"The Croats were the historical border guards of the empire with their own kingdoms."
Wrong. Croatia has never been part of the Holy Roman Empire, not the Austrian Empire. The Kingdom was a part of the Lands of the Crown of St. Stephen between 1102 and 1918
