This is listed as a krohniana Eskimo. Is that accurate? I have one of those and it doesn’t look like this

It’s a Hoya lacunosa with silver leaves that people sometimes trade as “Hoya krohniana ‘Super Silver'” or the other term you mentioned, which is a racial slur that people are trying to phase out of use.
It’s actually a Hoya lacunosa, true H. krohniana has always-cordate leaves and may or may not get lumped in with lacunosa at some point on the future.
Looks like a lacunosa super silver. Krohniana leaves are slightly more rounded
Looks like what I have that a seller labeled Hoya lacunoasa ‘Leopard Skin’
I usually stick with whatever the label says unless I know for sure it has been mislabeled. In today’s world hoyas are often renamed or sold as unknown. It is definitely a beautiful plant.
